Session IPA
Four hops, Idaho 7, Ekuanot, Azacca and El Dorado, give this 3.4 % IPA a tropical fruit hit, resinous pine and a hint of pithy orange. Lemon, grapefruit and pineapple lead the aroma, granola sits in the taste, and a light malt base of Church Farm pale malt with caramalt and wheat carries it. Brewed in May only.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Session IPA
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.
