Chargé d'Affaires
A light wheat IPA hopped with the New Zealand variety Nelson Sauvin. Unlike Bavarian wheat beers it is fermented with American ale yeast, which gives it lightness without banana notes. Pale Ale and wheat malts form the base, and the brewery describes the style as a Wheat Session IPA. Nelson Sauvin is the only hop in the recipe.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Chargé d'Affaires
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.
