Corsica

Tap to rate

An IPA at 6.5 percent, dry-hopped with Citra, Simcoe and Cascade. All three go back to the early days of American craft hopping, which sets this apart from the cryo and blend-heavy bills that dominate the rest of the range. Available on tap and in four-packs.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Corsica

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with bright clarity and minimal haze. The head forms quickly and holds with modest retention, leaving delicate Schaumkleiden along the glass. Carbonation appears lively and well-integrated.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus notes—grapefruit and orange zest—supported by herbal pine and resinous undertones. Classic American hop character dominates, with Citra and Simcoe contributing floral and fruity depth alongside Cascade's subtle woodsy complexity. Clean fermentation allows the hops to remain in sharp focus.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and refreshing, with citrus and tropical notes developing across the mid-palate. Bitterness builds gradually, dry and herbal rather than harsh, anchored by a restrained Malz backbone. The balance favors hop character throughout, with pine and grapefruit persisting into the swallow.

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.

What is a IPA?
