◐ Taste

The palate entry is clean and smooth, with a fresh malt body carrying noticeable caramel character from the specialty malts. The mid-palate develops tropical fruit notes alongside a building, well-integrated bitterness that crescendos to a firm finish without harshness.

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.
