Sunset Valley
Sweet tropical fruit, pink grapefruit and dank herbal aromatics. Sunset Valley is a 6.5% IPA built around hand-selected 2026 crop Nelson Sauvin from Freestyle Hops. The hops grew in clay-rich loam beside Sunset Valley Road and were harvested at the end of March after a season with 1087 hours of sunshine.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Sunset Valley
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.
