Grand Harbour
Grand Harbour, the Port of Valletta, has seen battles, sieges and even a devastating tornado since Phoenician times. The session IPA named after it starts soft and biscuity, with a hint of fresh barley kernels, and turns to tropical fruit and citrus aromas. Light and dry yet full-bodied, it carries just 3.9% ABV and 35 IBU, and is vegan.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Grand Harbour
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.
