Alpacalypse
Subtle tropical flavours and citrus aromas meet a gentle bitterness in this modestly hazy 4.3% session IPA made with American hops. It is a SALT beer served on draught only, launched in partnership with Molson Coors, and its name nods to the alpaca, known for its flame-retardant wool, and to Saltaire's textile past.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Alpacalypse
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.

What is a Session IPA?
IPAs are hop-forward ales with 5.5–7.5% ABV and IBU 40–70+. Bold hop aroma — citrus, tropical, resinous — with firm bitterness and a dry, clean finish.
Finding a similar Session IPA
hopIQ matches by flavor profile — not just style label. A beer with the same citrusy, tropical, hoppy character as Alpacalypse will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
