◐ Taste

The palate enters smooth and sessionable, with delicate citrus and floral hop flavors unfolding across the mid-palate without aggression. A clean, bright malt backbone provides structure and subtle sweetness, balancing the moderate hop bitterness at 60 IBUs—present but never sharp or lingering. The mouthfeel is light and refreshing, encouraging continued sipping.

The finish is dry and clean, with the citrus and floral notes fading gracefully into a subtle herbal fade. Aftertaste remains short and pleasant, leaving no heavy residue—the beer invites another sip rather than demanding reflection.

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.
