◐ Taste

The palate opens with bright tropical fruitiness that quickly transitions to a pronounced bitter bite. Moderate body carries the bitterness through the mid-palate without heaviness, while the low ABV keeps the beer crisp and drinkable. Subtle citrus notes emerge on the sides of the tongue, balancing the hop intensity.

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.
