In Session
A session-strength IPA hopped with El Dorado and Belma, which together give a clear tropical fruit character: pineapple, melon and a sweeter citrus note closer to tangerine than grapefruit. Carapils and pale ale malt keep the body light without letting it thin out. At 4.5 percent and 30 IBU the bitterness is firm without dominating, and the finish is dry and short.

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.
