Easy Trail
Easy Trail leads with juicy berry and clean citrus and closes on crisp pine. Simcoe, Amarillo, Mosaic and Cascade drive the hops in this 4.2% West Coast session IPA, built on pale malt, torrefied wheat and oats. It began in 2018 as a spin-off from the Workbench IPA project, a lighter take on what the brewers learned there, and won Gold at SIBA Scotland in 2025.

Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Easy Trail
Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.
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.

What is a Session IPA?
IPAs are hop-forward ales with 5.5–7.5% ABV and IBU 40–70+. Bold hop aroma — citrus, tropical, resinous — with firm bitterness and a dry, clean finish.
Finding a similar Session IPA
hopIQ matches by flavor profile — not just style label. A beer with the same piney, berry, hoppy character as Easy Trail will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
