Invasion
An IPA hopped heavily in both the kettle and the fermenter. The aroma runs from floral pine to grapefruit and lime, with the fruity character of Centennial hops on top of a balanced malt backbone. Citrus dominates nose and palate alike, a resinous edge comes through, and the finish is dry with a pine-like bitterness. At 6 % it is the strongest beer in the core range.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Invasion
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.
