◐ Taste

The palate enters soft and smooth, allowing the fruity and floral notes to unfold without harshness. Mid-palate remains refreshing and light, with balanced bitterness that sits at 60 IBU—present but never aggressive or overpowering. The finish is clean and dry, with residual hop character that lingers gently without astringency.

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.
