Juletid IPA

Tap to rate

A Christmas IPA brewed as a lighter, fresher counterpart to the dark seasonal beers the brand is known for. Four malts, including Vienna and caramel, give an amber-gold colour and a lasting white head. Amarillo at the start of the boil sets the bitterness, Cascade follows after the boil, and the beer is dry-hopped with Mandarina Bavaria and El Dorado alongside an orange-peel extract. Aroma: mandarin and orange over light caramel malt. The palate is crisp and refreshing with a balanced, fresh bitter finish.

Entry is clean and crisp, with a moderate, well-integrated bitterness that sits at the forefront of the palate without overpowering.

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.
