◌ Aroma

The nose leads with distinctive tropical and juicy fruit character from the Mosaic and Amarillo hop blend, evoking ripe mango, passionfruit, and stone fruit. Citrus notes—primarily orange and grapefruit—weave through the profile, underpinned by a subtle honey sweetness and gentle floral undertones from the pale and honey malt base.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and approachable, with immediate juicy fruit flavors and bright citrus intensity across the mid-palate. Bitterness builds gradually and remains well-balanced at 50 IBU, never harsh or astringent; honey and pale malt provide a clean, slightly sweet foundation that complements the hoppy character without masking it.

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.
