Rollover

Tap to rate

Rollover is the session IPA in the Whiplash core range and one of the brewery's best-selling beers. The grist combines pale malt, Vienna malt, wheat and oats, which gives a soft, hazy body despite the low strength of 3.8%. Citra, Mosaic, Simcoe and Ekuanot provide the hop character: juicy citrus and tropical fruit dominate, carried by a fluffy texture. The result is light and fruity, with more substance than the alcohol content suggests.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright citrus and tropical fruit notes driven by Citra, Mosaic, Simcoe and Ekuanot hops. Layers of juicy stone fruit and gentle citrus zest mingle with the soft, grainy foundation from pale malt, Vienna malt, wheat and oats. The overall aromatic profile is clean and inviting, with no harsh phenolics or oxidative notes.

◐ Taste

Entry is light and fruity, with the hop character taking the lead—juicy grapefruit, peach and mango notes bloom across the palate. The malt backbone provides subtle sweetness and a soft, almost creamy texture from the wheat and oat bill, which masks the beer's modest 3.8% strength effectively. Bitterness integrates smoothly at 37 IBU, present as a dry frame rather than a pronounced bite, allowing the fruit character to remain the focal point.

Serve at 7–10°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.
