IBU Session IPA
A session IPA at 4% whose aroma is driven by tangerine, passion fruit and citrus. On the palate it is crisp and refreshing, with a sturdier body than the strength suggests and a clear hop presence, and it pours with a haze. Barley malt and wheat form the base. The beer belongs to IBU, a range the brewery sells under a label of its own alongside its main line.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for IBU Session IPA
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.
