Supernaut IPA

Tap to rate

An IPA built entirely on Mosaic — one hop, four malts, no distractions. Passionfruit, pineapple and berry lead, carried by pilsner and Vienna malt with Caraamber and Carafoam for colour and head. At 5.8 percent it's a year-round beer, and the brewery says plainly: drink it fresh.

◌ Aroma

Mosaic hop character dominates with passionfruit and pineapple leading the nose, followed by subtle berry notes. Vienna and pilsner malts provide a soft, grain-forward foundation without heaviness. No phenolic or yeast-driven aromas—the profile remains clean and varietal.

◐ Taste

Entry is bright and fruity, with tropical hop flavors coating the palate immediately. Mid-palate shows balanced malt sweetness from the Vienna and pilsner base, with Caramber adding light caramel depth. Bitterness arrives cleanly and finishes at moderate levels, never harsh or astringent.

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.
