◌ Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant tropical stone fruit—pineapple and passion fruit dominate, layered beneath delicate floral notes from noble hops. A clean, soft malt foundation supports the aromatics without overwhelming them, allowing the hop character to breathe. No phenolic or yeasty notes interfere; the overall impression is bright and inviting.

◐ Taste

Entry is fruit-forward and approachable, with citrus and tropical notes unfolding across the mid-palate on a soft, pillowy malt body. A firm, well-integrated hop bite emerges mid-palate, providing genuine bitterness without harshness. The 60 IBU sits comfortably against the 7% ABV, creating balance between sweetness and bite.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and moderately long, with lingering citrus and floral bitterness fading gradually into a clean, dry aftertaste. The soft malt never turns cloying, leaving the palate refreshed and ready for the next 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.
