White grape, passion fruit and soft citrus lead this IPA at 7.5% ABV. Nelson Sauvin goes in in multiple forms, layering fresh grape and tropical fruit with a subtle wine-like twist, while Centennial and Riwaka add pine and citrus. The body stays silky and smooth, and the Alkmaar brewery lists a best-before date well into 2027 on the can.

Pale golden yellow with excellent clarity and bright, translucent character. A dense white head forms quickly and maintains fine lacing around the glass as you drink. The carbonation is lively and persistent, creating steady streams of small bubbles.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and fruity, with passion fruit and white grape taking center stage alongside a gentle citrus backbone. The mid-palate remains silky and smooth, avoiding harshness while the pine and grapefruit notes emerge with moderate bitterness. The 60 IBUs provide structure without overwhelming the delicate fruit character.

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.
