Dungeons

Tap to rate

A big, soft tropical blast with citrus, pine and a soft marmalade quality, shaped by oats, wheat, almost no hot-side hopping and London III yeast. Dungeons is a 7% IPA that returns after a long time away, named after a gigantic South African wave break: 30-foot waves, cold water, treacherous currents and Great Whites.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Dungeons

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent head that leaves delicate lacing on the glass. The carbonation is bright and visible, creating a lively, inviting pour. Light catches the beer cleanly, with no haze or cloudiness.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced tropical fruit character—mango, papaya, and passion fruit lead the way. Citrus notes of grapefruit and marmalade emerge behind the fruit, layered with a subtle pine backbone and a soft, grainy Malz sweetness from the oat and wheat bill. The London III yeast adds a clean, understated fruitiness without any sharp or solvent-like qualities.

◐ Taste

The palate unfolds with a soft, juicy mouthfeel—oats and wheat create a pillowy body that amplifies the tropical and citrus character without heaviness. Mid-palate brings marmalade sweetness and gentle pine, while the bitterness sits at a moderate level, present but never aggressive or drying. The finish carries a clean, measured bitterness that complements rather than dominates the overall profile.

◑ Finish

The finish is moderate in length, fading gracefully into a subtle citrus and pine fade with lingering Malz sweetness. No harshness or heat despite the 7% ABV; the beer remains approachable and drinkable throughout.

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.

What is a 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.
