◐ Taste

Tropical fruit flavours dominate the palate—pineapple and citrus notes develop clearly in the mid-palate alongside a persistent floral undertone. The hop bitterness is moderate and well-integrated, finishing with a dry, clean character that lingers without astringency.

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.
