Splash
A very cloudy session IPA, light and full of aroma, with Citra and Mosaic hops bursting into citrus and tropical fruit notes. It brings the flavour of an IPA at low alcohol and is very drinkable. Splash is one of Smach's seasonal releases, special editions that change from year to year, and it is unfiltered and carbonates naturally.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Splash
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.
