Reservoir Dolls

Tap to rate

Brewed by the women of the brewery for International Women's Day and hopped with a blend assembled for an industry women's organisation. At four percent the body stays light, with citrus, tropical fruit and a floral note over a crisp malt base. Bitterness is soft and the haze moderate, so it reads as a juicy IPA scaled down rather than a thin one.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Reservoir Dolls

◎ Appearance

A pale golden hue with moderate haze lends visual softness to the glass. The head settles to a thin, persistent collar with fine carbonation running steadily through the body. Clarity is intentionally veiled rather than opaque, creating an inviting, approachable appearance.

◌ Aroma

Bright citrus notes—lime and grapefruit—greet the nose first, backed by pronounced tropical fruit character: hints of mango and passionfruit. A delicate floral undertone weaves through the profile, likely from the women-curated hop selection, while a crisp, clean Malz base provides grounding support without heavy grain presence.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with juicy citrus and stone fruit, flowing into a soft middle where tropical notes shine without heaviness. Bitterness remains restrained and refined, complementing rather than dominating the sweetness of the hop blend. The crisp Malz base prevents the beer from reading thin, maintaining structure despite its four-percent alcohol.

◑ Finish

A clean, refreshing exit leaves lingering citrus and floral notes that fade gently. The aftertaste stays dry and crisp without harsh grip or lingering harshness.

Serve at 7–10°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.
