What is a American 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.

Serve & Enjoy
How to get the most out of Smach IPA
Serve at 8–11°C for the best flavour balance and aroma expression.
The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
Store in a cool, dark place. Check the best-before date on the label for guidance.
