Windjammer
Windjammer is Green Beacon's IPA, named after the large cargo sailing ships of the 19th century. Australian and American hops go in at several stages of the brew. It pours golden copper with a light hop haze and a firm off-white head. The aroma brings lychee, candied orange, dried mango and resinous pine over a light caramel malt note, and the palate balances subtle malt sweetness against a firm bitterness that lingers into a long finish.

Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Windjammer
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.

Finding a similar IPA
hopIQ matches by flavor profile — not just style label. A beer with the same resinous, bitter, hoppy character as Windjammer will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
