Speakeasy by Danny Khezzar
Mango and passion fruit in a round, sunny profile at just 4%: a session IPA that plays the fruit card and never leans on bitterness. Oats, plus Mosaic, El Dorado and Citra hops, carry the tropical side. The recipe is signed by Danny Khezzar, chef at Geneva's starred Bayview, and the name points to the hidden bars of Prohibition and to the brewery's first beers, made in a discreet Flon cellar. Sold as Light IPA.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Speakeasy by Danny Khezzar
Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.
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.
