Ursa

◎ Appearance

Ursa presents a pale golden hue typical of the session IPA style, with excellent clarity and bright luminosity. The head is modest but persistent, clinging to the glass with fine lacing as you work through the pour. Carbonation is gentle and well-integrated, supporting a soft, inviting presentation.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant citrus—lime and grapefruit—layered over ripe tropical fruit notes of mango and pineapple from the Mosaic and Citra hops. A light berry undertone adds subtle complexity without overwhelming the composition. The overall profile is clean and refreshing, with no harsh or oxidative edges.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and approachable, with the tropical and citrus character translating seamlessly from the nose onto the palate. The body remains slim and elegant, never cloying, while bitterness sits in the background at a restrained 40 IBU—enough to define the beer without dominating. Malt backbone is understated, allowing hop expression to take centre stage.

◑ Finish

The finish is short and clean, drying without any lingering astringency or warming alcohol. A subtle echo of citrus lingers momentarily before the beer fades gracefully, leaving the palate refreshed and ready for 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.
