◐ Taste

On the palate, the beer delivers immediate tropical and stone fruit flavor, with peach and mango leading the charge. The wheat and oat malt bill provides a soft, slightly creamy body that balances the hop bitterness—around 50 IBU—which arrives as clean and refreshing rather than aggressive, finishing dry without astringency.

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.
