Pale, fresh and lightly hopped, with notes of tropical stone fruit, a low to moderate bitterness and a light malty character on a light body that makes it very drinkable.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced tropical stone fruit notes—mango, passionfruit, and peach—layered beneath bright citrus from Citra and Galaxy hops. Mosaic adds a subtle floral undertone, while the oat malt provides a soft, delicate grain foundation without heaviness. The overall impression is fresh and aromatic without aggressive hop intensity.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and refreshing with immediate tropical and stone fruit flavors that coat the palate. Mid-palate reveals a light malty sweetness from oat malt, balanced by moderate bitterness that is never harsh or lingering. The body remains light and smooth, allowing hop character and fruit notes to lead without overwhelm, creating excellent drinkability.

Serve at 8–11°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.
