Release the Chimps

◎ Appearance

Release the Chimps presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a bright, inviting sheen. The head forms with moderate density and retains its structure across the glass, leaving fine lacing trails that speak to crisp carbonation and clean brewing. The carbonation itself is lively and persistent, appropriate to the beer's refreshing character.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with distinct hop character—citrus and tropical fruit notes emerge clearly without overwhelming the senses. Beneath this sits a restrained pale malt base that provides just enough body to anchor the composition. The hop presence is forward and distinct, offering both resinous and fruity dimensions that signal the beer's flavour intent before the first sip.

◐ Taste

The palate opens light and crisp, with the pale malt foundation delivering subtle sweetness that never becomes cloying. Hop bitterness enters mid-palate with clean, incisive character—it cuts without harshness, allowing citrus and tropical fruit notes to remain audible throughout. The finish is dry and bitter, leaving the mouth feeling refreshed rather than weighed down, a signature trait of its everyday drinkability.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and lingering, with hop bitterness receding gradually to leave a crisp, refreshing aftertaste. No heaviness remains; instead, the palate returns to a clean, neutral state that invites the next sip.

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.
