Loki

Tap to rate

Light, fresh and easy-drinking: grassy citrus and grapefruit meet lychee, with a fruity lift from the Mosaic dry hop and a lightly bitter finish that makes you reach for the next sip. Loki is Walhalla's beer, and it lives up to its own slogan: be cheeky, drink Loki. A golden IPA that keeps things breezy rather than heavy.

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.
