Hopped & Confused Session Ale
A session IPA that plays with the line between an ale and a lager, pouring pale gold and lightly hazy. It is built to be hoppy without being bitter: the aroma is juicy and floral with a herbal, almost grassy edge, and citrus sits underneath it. On the palate the hop character arrives as fruit rather than bite, over a light malt base of barley and wheat. Carbonation is brisk, the bitterness low, and the finish smooth and crisp.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Hopped & Confused Session Ale
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.
