Wee Hag
Wee Hag strips a Session IPA down to its essential pleasures: citrus brightness and a floral, fruity backbone that stays crisp throughout, without the alcohol weight that can tire the palate. This is the familiar IPA playbook—the hop aromatics you recognize—but engineered for true drinkability, where each sip invites the next rather than demanding a pause. The crispness cuts clean, leaving room for the fruit notes to bloom without drowning them in heavy malt or boozy warmth. A beer for afternoon sessions or the long evening when you want flavor without fatigue.
Tasting Notes

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.
Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.
