◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent tropical stone fruit and citrus notes from the Dolcita hops, layered with subtle coconut character. Clean fermentation profile allows the hop aromatics to shine without yeast-derived cloudiness. Rice adjunct contributes a dry, grain-forward undertone that keeps the overall impression fresh and focused.

◐ Taste

Palate entry is crisp and dry, with tropical and citrus hop flavors taking the lead. The mid-palate remains clean and light-bodied, with the rice contributing to a refined texture and preventing heaviness. Moderate bitterness (60 IBU) sits comfortably in balance, finishing dry without harshness or residual sweetness.

Serve at 8–11°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.
