Lil' Bangin'
A session IPA at 3.8% with a pronounced fruit aroma: juicy ripe fruit, tangerine and tropical notes with a candy-like sweetness, and pine behind them. Oats and wheat alongside Maris Otter and caramalt give the light beer a smooth, silky body, so the aroma carries through from nose to palate. It pours golden straw and is produced gluten free.

Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Lil' Bangin'
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.
