◌ Aroma

The nose explodes with vibrant tropical and citrus aromatics from the Citra, Sabro, and Centennial hop combination. Prominent notes of ripe stone fruit, mango, and tangerine leap forward, with subtle undercurrents of pine and herbal resin. The malt base remains restrained, allowing the hop character to dominate without any vegetal or coarse edges.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with immediate juicy fruit character—pineapple and citrus zest at the front—followed by a balanced bitterness that registers confidently without aggression. The mid-palate maintains the tropical impression while revealing a touch of soft, clean malt sweetness that grounds the beer. Bitterness is measured and refined, fading into a dry finish rather than lingering harshly.

Serve at 8–11°C

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.
