Chillax

Tap to rate

Lightly hazy, pale Cold IPA, hoppy with bitter notes of citrus and pine. Fruity, floral and clementine on the nose, with laid-back malt, fruit and a crisp finish. Brewed cold to max out contact time with the hops and amplify the aroma during a slow fermentation. Cascade, Citra and El Dorado among others.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus and clementine notes, layered with herbal pine from the El Dorado and Cascade hops. Floral undertones and stone fruit esters emerge, supported by a soft, understated Malz presence that grounds the aromatic profile without dominating it.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a clean, hoppy bite balanced by subtle stone fruit and a gentle orchard sweetness from the Malz backbone. Citrus and pine bitterness build steadily through the mid-palate without harshness, delivering assertive hop character at moderate intensity. The mouthfeel is light yet full-bodied enough to carry the flavours through.

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.

About Cold IPA

Style guide · what to expect · how to find alternatives

What is a Cold IPA?

IPAs are hop-forward ales with 5.5–7.5% ABV and IBU 40–70+. Bold hop aroma — citrus, tropical, resinous — with firm bitterness and a dry, clean finish.

Finding a similar Cold IPA

hopIQ matches by flavor profile — not just style label. A beer with the same hoppy, fruity, piney character as Chillax will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
