Grill

Tap to rate

A light and fresh IPA, dry-hopped with American Simcoe, which brings a light bitterness and plenty of aroma of pine needles, citrus and passion fruit. The beer is a tribute to the men and women at the grill who battle in smoke and fumes for good flavour. Wheat malt joins the barley malt in the recipe, alongside hops and yeast.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Grill

◎ Appearance

A pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright, animated carbonation. The white head builds readily and clings to the glass with fine Schaumhaftung, leaving delicate lacework as the beer is consumed.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with pronounced Simcoe character: sharp pine needles and resinous edges mingle with citrus zest and tangy passion fruit notes. A subtle wheat grain undertone and clean, grassy herbal quality support the hoppy profile without any harsh solvent notes.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and light, with piney hop bitterness and tropical fruit sweetness in immediate balance. The mid-palate reveals a soft wheat malt bed—grainy and slightly creamy—that tempers the 60 IBU without obscuring the dry, citric bite. Finish is clean and moderately bitter, with lingering pine and subtle smoke.

◑ Finish

A dry, refreshing exit with moderate length and a persistent pine-and-citrus aftertaste. No cloying sweetness; instead, a brisk, thirst-quenching dryness that invites the next sip.

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.
