Partizan IPA

Tap to rate

The brewery's core IPA, 6.5% and hazy yellow in the glass. Its hop varieties change from batch to batch, so the exact character shifts with each brew; what stays constant is a pronounced hop aroma, a soft, delicate mouthfeel and a well-balanced overall impression. It is also the model for the Tiny IPA, which carries the same idea at roughly half the strength. Sold in 330 ml bottles and poured on draught.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Partizan IPA

◎ Appearance

A hazy yellow pour that catches the light with a soft, diffuse glow. The turbidity comes from yeast in suspension, characteristic of the style. Head retention is moderate, with fine bubbles and gentle lacing that fades gradually down the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with pronounced hop character; exact notes shift with each batch, but expect citrus, stone fruit, or herbal nuances depending on the seasonal hop selection. A light, clean malt backbone supports the hops without asserting itself. No phenolic or yeasty notes intrude on the aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and approachable, with the malt providing a delicate, understated sweetness that frames the hop bitterness without heaviness. Mid-palate develops a pleasant hop bite—around 60 IBU—that finishes dry and clean. The texture remains silky throughout, never astringent or aggressive.

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.
