Go-Two

Tap to rate

A low-strength IPA at 2.8 percent, first released in 2026 and hopped with Chinook, Cascade and Mosaic. The aroma is bright with citrus and tropical fruit, grapefruit and a resinous pine edge from the Chinook, and a berry-like note from the Mosaic. Two-row pale malt, wheat and a little C-15 crystal give a light, bready body with a faint caramel touch, while a small share of chocolate malt adds a toasty edge. The finish is short, dry and gently bitter.

◐ Taste

The palate opens light and bready, with wheat and two-row pale malt providing a clean foundation. A subtle caramel sweetness emerges in the mid-palate, while chocolate malt adds a gentle toasty warmth that prevents the beer from becoming thin or one-dimensional. Bitterness builds gradually and remains restrained, finishing with a dry, balanced character.

Serve at 7–10°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.

About Session IPA

Style guide · what to expect · how to find alternatives

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, dry, tropical character as Go-Two will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
