Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright translucence. A fine, persistent white head forms quickly and clings to the glass with noticeable lacing. Carbonation is lively and well-integrated, lending visual liveliness to the pour.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by clean citrus notes—grapefruit and orange peel—layered with herbal and resinous undertones from the Magnum, Citra, and Callista hop blend. A subtle malty foundation of Pilsner and Carahell provides soft grain character without obscuring the vibrant hop aromatics.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with immediate hop bitterness and crisp dryness, delivering 40 IBU with precise articulation. Mid-palate citrus and subtle stone fruit flavors emerge alongside a light, clean malt body built from wheat and Carahell. The finish is lean and sharp, with lingering herbal and bitter notes that refresh rather than coat.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and relatively short, fading cleanly with a persistent herbal-bitter edge. No sweetness lingers; instead, a mineral sharpness and gentle astringency invite the next sip.

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.
