All Day IPA

Tap to rate

All Day IPA joined the year-round range in 2012 and soon became the brewery's best-selling beer. It is brewed to 4.7 percent on a grain bill of wheat malt, flaked corn, flaked oats and caramel malt, with Crystal, Cascade, Amarillo and Simcoe hops. Citrus, blossom and tropical fruit lead the aroma over a light, bready base. Bitterness stays moderate, and the finish is crisp, clean and dry.

◌ Aroma

Citrus and floral notes lead the nose, with distinct grapefruit and orange zest character from the noble hop blend. Subtle tropical fruit undertones—pineapple and passionfruit—emerge beneath a clean, bready malt foundation. No phenolic or yeast-derived aromas detract from the hop expression.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with soft malt sweetness from wheat and oats, quickly balanced by moderate, controlled bitterness from Cascade and Amarillo hops. Mid-palate shows clean citrus and subtle stone fruit character without astringency. The grain bill creates a smooth, light body that avoids harshness despite the hop presence.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and crisp, with lingering hoppy bitterness that fades cleanly without coating the palate. The aftertaste remains refreshing and inviting.

Serve at 7–10°C

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.
