◌ Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant citrus and pine resin, complemented by herbal and dank undertones. Beneath the hop expression lies a subtle toasty-malt foundation with delicate floral notes and a berry-like complexity that adds depth without overwhelming the crisp character.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with clean, crisp citrus and piney hop flavors that dominate the mid-palate. A toasty, slightly sweet malt backbone provides structure and prevents the bitterness from becoming aggressive; at 55 IBU, the bite is moderate and well-integrated, finishing with a lingering herbal dryness.

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.
