Fresh lemon and juicy watermelon, wild herbs, geranium and night-blooming flower, with the freshness of a sea breeze: the taste is dry and a little salty, with a mild, refreshing bitterness that does not linger.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Nissos Easy IPA

◎ Appearance

A luminous golden hue reflects the Aegean sunshine, with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head. The carbonation is lively yet refined, creating delicate bubbles that rise steadily through the glass. Lacing clings to the sides with consistent, feathered patterns as you drink.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with fresh lemon zest and juicy watermelon, followed by subtle wild herb and geranium notes. A mineral-tinged floral character emerges, reminiscent of night-blooming flowers, underpinned by a bracing sea-breeze quality. Noble hop aromatics are present without dominating, allowing the delicate florals to breathe.

◐ Taste

The palate is bone-dry with a crisp, mouthwatering entry that immediately engages the taste buds. Mid-palate reveals citrus brightness and a subtle saltiness characteristic of island-brewed ales, balanced by a gentle, non-lingering bitterness. The finish remains dry and refreshing without astringency, leaving the mouth clean and eager for the next sip.

◑ Finish

The finish is short to medium, clean and refreshing, with the mild bitterness fading quickly. A pleasant, dry aftertaste persists, inviting immediate repetition rather than demanding contemplation.

Serve at 7–10°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.
