Blønd
A cloudy session IPA brewed with malted oats and dry hopped with Mosaic and Galaxy, which the brewery credits with full-on tropical fruit aromas. Pilot's keywords are zesty, cloudy and refreshing, and the haze is compared to that of a wheat beer. An older house description speaks of body and bitterness beyond what 4.0% suggests. The oats give a soft, rounded feel; citrus zest and ripe fruit carry through to a firm finish. In the range since 2014.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Blønd
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.
