🌍 United States · Session IPA · One of 83 Session IPAs in hopIQ

All Day Tropics is a session IPA of 4.7 percent from the All Day series, hopped with Dolcita and Citra over pale malt, wheat and oats. Its tropical character comes from the hops alone, with no fruit added: coconut, orange and caramelized pineapple lead the aroma. The oats and wheat give a soft, light body, a gentle sweetness sits underneath, and a touch of bitterness closes a clean, refreshing finish.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant tropical notes derived entirely from the Dolcita and Citra hop character. Distinct impressions of coconut and caramelized pineapple emerge prominently, complemented by bright citrus—particularly orange zest. Beneath the hop-driven aromatics lies a soft, supportive malt base with subtle sweetness, free of any harsh or vegetal notes.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a clean, gently sweet entry from the oats and wheat, establishing a soft texture that belies the beer's hoppy focus. The mid-palate balances tropical fruit flavors with a restrained, measured bitterness that develops gradually rather than assertively. The malt foundation remains understated, allowing the dry, citrus-forward hop finish to take prominence without overwhelming.

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of All Day Tropics

Serve at 7–10°C
Refrigerate, then rest 2 min

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

Tulip glass
Recommended for this style

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.
