◐ Taste

The palate opens with a full, satisfying malz body that provides malt sweetness and structure, immediately followed by the bitterness of the American hops coming into focus. Citrus flavors persist through the mid-palate with a clean, crisp character; the bitterness remains balanced rather than aggressive, respecting the ale's 60 IBU without drowning the malt. The finish is dry and refreshing, with lingering 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.
