Brave New World
The brewery's long-running IPA, in the range since 2011 and brewed with North American hops, among them Centennial, Chinook and Citra, on pale ale and Munich malts. The brewery names grapefruit and pine for the nose and tropical fruit, pine resin and a bittersweet note for the palate, and speaks of local barley and a long maturation. Drinkers in 2026 describe it as clear, hoppy and full, with a strong bitterness and a very dry finish; one adds caramel, biscuit and orange.

Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Brave New World
Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.
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.
