🌍 China · American IPA · One of 279 American IPAs in hopIQ

Boxing Cat's lower-ABV IPA — all the citrus and hop aroma of the Contender but in a lighter, more sessionable frame. Sucker Punch is the weeknight IPA: you can drink three and still make it to work on the Puxi metro. Shanghai's answer to the great American session IPA movement.

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.

Store in a cool, dark place. Check the best-before date on the label for guidance.
