Bird of Prey

Tap to rate

A superhero IPA from the brewery's Heroes line, intensely fruity and bitter, with tropical and citrus fruit up front. Pale malt forms the base, Simcoe, Chinook and Mosaic are among the hops, and at 5.8% ABV it is best drunk fresh. Bird of Prey has even been served in the can, on ice, at a three-star Michelin restaurant.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Bird of Prey

◎ Appearance

Bird of Prey presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a bright, luminous quality. The head forms readily and clings to the glass with fine, persistent lacing. Carbonation is visible and lively, contributing to the beer's crisp visual character.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant tropical fruit—mango, papaya, and stone fruit—followed by bright citrus notes of grapefruit and lime. The Simcoe, Chinook, and Mosaic hops layer in resinous and floral undertones without overwhelming the clean pale malt foundation. The overall impression is fresh and herbaceous, inviting immediate engagement.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and fruity, with tropical and citrus character flowing across the palate. Mid-palate maintains focus on the fruit-forward character while a measured bitterness emerges, well-integrated rather than sharp. The finish carries both the fruity notes and hop bitterness through cleanly, leaving a dry, refreshing sensation without astringency.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and medium in length, with the bitterness fading gracefully into a lingering hint of citrus and tropical fruit. No harsh edge remains—only a crisp, refreshing aftertaste that invites another sip.

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.
