Low Flyer IPA

Mill Street Brewery
Tap to rate
🌍 Canada · Session IPA · One of 63 Session IPAs in hopIQ

A session IPA poured only at the brewery's own pubs, where it runs as part of a rotating tap programme. It is built soft rather than sharp: the aroma leads with stone fruit, a sweet peach candy note over tropical fruit, with citrus zest sitting behind it. The palate follows the same line, the hop character arriving as fruit rather than bite, over a light and unobtrusive malt base. Bitterness is restrained and the finish stays short and clean.

Aroma

The nose leads with ripe stone fruit—peach takes prominence, arriving with a candy-like sweetness—backed by layered tropical notes. Citrus zest threads through the background, offering a lift without aggression. The Edelhopfen character remains fruit-forward and inviting rather than sharp or resinous.

Taste

The palate mirrors the aromatic promise, with hop character expressed as bright fruit rather than biting resin or pine. A light, unobtrusive malt base allows the hop fruit to shine while maintaining balance. Bitterness is restrained and measured, never dominating or drying the finish.

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of Low Flyer IPA

Serve at 7–10°C
Refrigerate, then rest 2 min

Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.

Tulip glass
Recommended for this style

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.
