Live Outside

Tap to rate

Live Outside starts with a healthy dose of naked oats on a base of extra pale malt, which gives the IPA a creamy body. Over that come passion fruit, pineapple and piquant lime zest, with a piney edge, for a dessert-like impression. The beer is brewed to 6.5%, is vegan and has been on the brewery's list since January 2024.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent tropical fruit notes—passion fruit and pineapple dominate—layered over a zesty lime zest character. Beneath these fruit esters lies a subtle piney hop signature, balanced by the soft, grainy sweetness of naked oats and extra pale malt. The overall impression is fruit-forward and refreshing, without aggressive alcohol notes.

◐ Taste

The palate entry is creamy and rounded, courtesy of the oat base, which gives the IPA a soft mouthfeel unusual for the style. Tropical fruit flavors—especially pineapple and passion fruit—drive the mid-palate, with a piquant lime character adding brightness and cut. The bitterness arrives measured at 60 IBU, finishing with a piney edge that complements rather than overwhelms the fruit character.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium in length with a clean, slightly dry aftertaste where the lime zest and pine notes persist gently. A dessert-like quality lingers, balancing fruit sweetness with mild hop bitterness.

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.
