DayTime IPA
Passion fruit, gooseberry and citrus come up in the aroma, along with sweaty, tropical locker-room notes from the hops. The flavor turns spicy with a slightly rugged, tea-like hop character, and the aftertaste leaves a soft hint of melted cream cheese. Oats and malts form a gentle canvas for lots of Centennial and Citra, and at 4 %, 98 calories and 3 grams of carbs the beer stays sessionable, with 30 IBU on the data sheet.

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.
