Bodem

Tap to rate

Citrus and tropical fruit mingle in a sticky mix, carried by a silk-rich grist and the hops Idaho 7, Mosaic Cryo and Cashmere. Bodem is Half Acre's bedrock IPA, a 6.7% re-imagining of its year-round IPA, set firmly at the midpoint between West Coast classic and East Coast shift and the brewery's take on a go-to IPA in today's spectrum of hops.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with vibrant citrus—lime and orange zest—layered with tropical stone fruit and subtle piney resin. Beneath runs a silk-like maltiness that grounds the volatile hop expression without competing for attention.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and juicy, with tropical fruit and citrus immediately dominating the palate. The mid-palate sustains that fruitiness while a measured bitterness—60 IBU—arrives cleanly without harshness, balanced by the cereal sweetness of the grist. Finish is dry and crisp, with lingering tropical notes.

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.
