Baby Tibs

Tap to rate

It is hopped with Citra Cryo and Mosaic Cryo, concentrated forms of the two hops in the original, and comes in at 3.4 % against 5.1 %. The beer is light and juicy, with citrus leading in aroma and taste. It has been sold in cans and poured on draught.

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.
