◌ Aroma

The nose leads with pronounced tropical fruit notes—pineapple and mango dominate the initial impression. Citrus and pine undertones emerge on closer inspection, supported by a subtle herbaceous quality from the noble hop blend. The overall aroma remains bright and inviting without aggressive intensity.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and fruit-forward, with tropical and citrus flavors taking the lead across the palate. Mid-palate develops pleasant piney and herbal notes from Cascade and Centennial, while bitterness remains restrained at 40 IBU—balanced rather than assertive. The malt base provides just enough body to support the hop profile without sweetness.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and dry, with tropical and citrus notes lingering briefly before a quick fade. No harshness or lingering bitterness; instead, a refreshing absence that invites the next sip.

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.
