IPA

Tap to rate

Harvey's IPA is a low-strength English take on the style, 3.5% on draught. The hop aroma is delicate, grassy and earthy. On the palate a refreshing bitterness is balanced by subtle malt flavours; the finish is dry and the aftertaste lingers. It is brewed to be an easy-drinking pint.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for IPA

◎ Appearance

A pale golden hue with bright clarity and lively carbonation. The white head forms readily and maintains fair retention, settling into a thin collar with modest lacing around the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose expresses delicate hop character with grassy and earthy notes that are restrained rather than assertive. Beneath these floral and herbaceous impressions, subtle malt sweetness provides a gentle base without dominating the profile.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a brisk, refreshing bitterness that sits in balance with understated malt flavours. The low alcohol (3.5% ABV) allows the hop bitterness and grain character to integrate smoothly, creating an approachable, quaffable body without heaviness.

◑ Finish

A dry, lingering aftertaste unfolds with persistent hop bitterness that fades gradually. The finish remains crisp and leaves the palate clean, inviting another sip.

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?

Finding a similar IPA

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