◐ Taste

Entry brings juicy tropical sweetness balanced by moderately firm bitterness. The mid-palate develops orange citrus and herbaceous notes over a clean malt foundation, with gentle resinous edges. Bitterness registers at a measured 60 IBU, neither aggressive nor recessive.

Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.

Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.
