Ocata

Tap to rate

Mango and peach lead, followed by bright lemon-juice aromas, light tropical fruit and a gentle floral, citrusy and grassy side from Palisade, all riding a silky, smooth body. Mosaic and Palisade share the hop bill, and nothing is pushed too far: Ocata is built on balance and aimed at fans of both new- and old-school IPA.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Ocata

◎ Appearance

Ocata presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass with delicate lacing. The carbonation is crisp and lively, creating a visual impression of freshness and approachability. The light straw color (SRM 6) and bright clarity suggest a well-crafted, clean fermentation.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with ripe stone fruit—mango and peach—layered atop bright lemon-juice acidity and gentle tropical fruit notes. Palisade hops bring a refined floral and grassy character that never overwhelms, complemented by a whisper of citrus zest. The aromatic profile balances modern fruit-forward hop character with a crisp, herbaceous restraint.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and smooth, with stone fruit and citrus notes unfolding across the palate without harshness. The mid-palate reveals a balanced interplay of peachy sweetness, lemony brightness, and a grassy, floral backbone from the Mosaic and Palisade combination. At 40 IBU, the bitterness is gentle and integrated, allowing the silky malt body to provide foundation without any coarseness.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and refreshing, with citrus and floral notes fading gracefully into a dry, herb-tinged aftertaste. No harshness or astringency lingers; instead, a subtle grassy dryness invites another sip.

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.

About Session IPA

Style guide · what to expect · how to find alternatives

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 peach, citrusy, smooth character as Ocata will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
