Wee Bunny

Tap to rate

A mandarin-led hop wallop at four per cent, which is the point of the beer: the fruit arrives in full while the body stays light. The colour is bright straw and the hops are American. Wee Bunny is the smallest of the Bunny beers, and the brewery is firm that it is not a New England IPA — the haze and the sweetness of that manner are deliberately absent, and the close is clean.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Wee Bunny

◎ Appearance

Bright straw yellow with excellent clarity and fine carbonation. The head forms quickly and retains with good Schaumhaftung, leaving a delicate lacing on the glass as it subsides.

◌ Aroma

Mandarin zest and citrus pith lead the nose, with supporting notes of grapefruit and subtle stone fruit. The American hop character is clean and crisp, with minimal Malz contribution—just a light backdrop of pale grain.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with immediate citrus and stone-fruit hop presence that dominates the mid-palate without obscuring balance. Bitterness sits at 40 IBU—assertive but not aggressive—and the body remains deliberately light and refreshing. The finish is bone-dry with no residual sweetness.

◑ Finish

Clean and crisp, with the hop character persisting briefly before fading to a dry, mineral aftertaste. No lingering sweetness or malt warmth.

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.
