◌ Aroma

Juniper dominates the nose, characteristic of the gin-botanical approach, supported by herbal and spicy notes that suggest coriander and other craft botanicals. Delicate malty undertones emerge beneath, offering a subtle grain sweetness that grounds the aromatic profile without dominating. The overall impression is brisk and aromatic rather than heavy or perfumed.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and moderately bitter, with the 60 IBU providing structure without harshness. Mid-palate balances hoppy bitterness with herbal complexity and whispers of tropical fruit character, while the organic black oats contribute a slight earthiness and body. The palate remains clean and well-defined, with tartness building steadily through the mid-section.

Serve at 8–11°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.
