Overtime

Tap to rate

A session NEIPA with a soft, delicate array of tropical and mango flavours and the floral, herbal aroma of dry-hopped Amarillo. Simcoe, Mosaic and El Dorado start it off, and a dash of crystal malt gives a slightly deeper, tropical colour than the yellows of old. It is unfined and exclusive to keg, at 4.8%.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Overtime

◎ Appearance

A hazy golden-amber pour with a slightly deeper tone than traditional pale ales, courtesy of the crystal malt addition. The unfiltered character creates a soft, diffuse appearance with fine suspended particles throughout. A modest white head forms and holds with gentle lacing, typical of the style.

◌ Aroma

A fragrant, layered nose opens with floral and herbal notes from the Amarillo dry-hop, followed by pronounced tropical and mango character from the Simcoe, Mosaic, and El Dorado combination. The bouquet remains delicate and inviting, with no aggressive pine or resinous edge—a hallmark of this session NEIPA's balanced approach.

◐ Taste

The palate enters clean and refreshing, with tropical fruit flavours taking the lead across the mid-palate. Bitterness sits at a restrained 40 IBU, providing structure without dominating; the crystal malt contributes a subtle malt sweetness and body that prevents the beer from becoming thin. The finish dries gradually rather than sharply, maintaining the drink's approachability.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste lingers with residual mango and herbal notes, drying cleanly over a moderate length. A light, dry mineral quality emerges late, inviting another sip.

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.
