🌍 Germany · Session IPA · One of 40 Session IPAs in hopIQ

Computer Rage is a session IPA full of citrus and herbal character — lemon and lime zest lead, followed by fresh coriander and the faintest suggestion of pine. Beneath the brightness sits a lingering, dry bitterness that gives the beer its backbone without overwhelming its moderate strength. The overall impression is sunshine in a glass: refreshing, thirst-quenching, and full-flavoured at 4.8 percent.

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of Computer Rage

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.
