IPA des Côtes
In the range since 2020 and hopped with Centennial over a mash of barley, wheat and Munich malt. Grapefruit, lime and lemon carry the aroma, and the wheat gives the body enough weight to hold a firm, sustained bitterness without letting it scratch. The Munich malt adds a bread-crust note through the middle that keeps the citrus from running away with the beer, and the finish is long and clearly bitter.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for IPA des Côtes
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.
