◐ Taste

Entry brings immediate citrus and peach flavors, with orange juice providing roundness and subtle sweetness. The mid-palate reveals a wheat and Malz structure with moderate bitterness that builds gradually rather than dominates. The 9.5% ABV provides warmth and body, creating a full-mouthed character without harshness.

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.

About Fruited IPA

Style guide · what to expect · how to find alternatives

What is a Fruited IPA?

IPAs are hop-forward ales with 5.5–7.5% ABV and IBU 40–70+. Bold hop aroma — citrus, tropical, resinous — with firm bitterness and a dry, clean finish.
