Updrift
A bright, clean hop aroma full of tropical fruit, stone fruit and zesty citrus, with notes of melon, stone fruit and passionfruit over a toasty malt foundation and a clean, hoppy finish. Galaxy, Citra and El Dorado hops, two-row and dextrin malt and flaked barley make up this 7.1% ABV, 70 IBU IPA. Silver at the 2020 Great American Beer Festival.

Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Updrift
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.
Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.

Finding a similar IPA
