◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright honeydew melon and mandarin orange notes, immediately recognizable as fresh hop character. Pine needles and resinous Edelhopfen aromatics provide structure and herbal depth, while subtle honey and stone fruit undertones add complexity. The overall impression is garden-fresh and vibrant, with no oxidative or dull notes.

◐ Taste

The palate entry is crisp and clean, with bright citrus and pine leading the charge. Mid-palate reveals honeyed sweetness balanced by medium bitterness that sits at around 60 IBU—assertive but not harsh. The finish is dry and refreshing, with lingering piney bitterness and a faint tropical note that suggests the melon character carries through the entire arc.

◑ Finish

A moderately long finish dominated by pleasant pine resin and citrus zest, with the bitterness gradually receding. The aftertaste remains crisp and refreshing rather than warming or drying.

Serve at 8–11°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.
