Low Flyer IPA

Tap to rate

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

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 at 7–10°C

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.
