Julehumle
A hopped Christmas ale that speaks in gentle rather than aggressive tones. The hop character—grape and citrus from the aroma blend—stays measured, allowing the malt to hold its own. This is not a timid IPA, but a mild one, with a dry, resinous finish that refreshes without overwhelming. At six percent alcohol, it settles into a festive middle ground: crisp enough to cut through a winter evening, warming enough to linger in the throat. A beer for the season that doesn't announce itself with volume.

Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Julehumle
Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.
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.
