Less Sugars More Fun

Tap to rate

A very dry, pale-straw Brut IPA with a pronounced hop aroma: Nelson Sauvin brings a fruity line with gooseberry tones, joined by Simcoe and Cascade. A special enzyme splits unfermentable sugars so the beer ferments deeply, leaving a dry body, juicy acidity and a pleasant crispness. Bitterness stays low.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Less Sugars More Fun

◎ Appearance

Pale straw color with excellent clarity and bright luminosity. A delicate, fine-bubbled head forms and clings persistently to the glass walls, leaving crisp lacing that adheres cleanly with each sip. The carbonation reads as lively and well-integrated throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced stone fruit and gooseberry character from Nelson Sauvin, underpinned by the herbal, pine-tinged presence of Simcoe. Cascade rounds out the profile with additional citrus notes. Malt remains respectfully in the background, allowing the hop expression to dominate without any yeast-derived fruitiness.

◐ Taste

Entry is immediately dry and crisp, with juicy acidity cutting across the palate without harshness. The mid-palate develops fruity and tropical hop flavors—gooseberry and passionfruit notes weave through—while bitterness remains restrained at 40 IBU. A light, grainy Malz character provides structure but never overwhelms; the enzyme-induced deep fermentation strips away sweetness and leaves only clean, refreshing sensation.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is short to medium, clean, and persistently crisp. Hoppy character fades gracefully, leaving only a pleasant dryness and a faint citrus echo on the tongue.

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.
