Extra Verse

Tap to rate

Heady white wine, ripe melon, pineapple and juicy grape lead the aroma of this velvety IPA, soft and fluffy, yet full and rounded in flavour, with a resonant finish that lingers sip after sip. The white-wine note comes from a hop trio: Eggers Special, El Dorado and Sabro, brewed with barley, oat and wheat malts at 7% ABV. Unfiltered, so pour gently.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Extra Verse

◎ Appearance

Golden-amber hue with a pale, luminous quality typical of the 8 SRM specification. The beer presents a slight haze from its unfiltered character, creating a softly diffused appearance. A creamy head forms on pour and clings to the glass with gentle lacing.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with white wine aromatics—a distinctive stone-fruit minerality that frames the hop identity. Ripe melon and pineapple emerge clearly, alongside juicy grape notes that create a bright, fruit-forward bouquet. The trio of Eggers Special, El Dorado and Sabro hops delivers both aromatic complexity and restraint, avoiding any sharp resinous character.

◐ Taste

The palate enters soft and velvety, with the oat and wheat malts contributing a silky mouthfeel that carries through to mid-palate. Tropical stone-fruit flavors persist from the aroma, blending with subtle malt sweetness before a clean, measured bitterness (60 IBU) emerges without harshness. The finish remains rounded and full-bodied, with no sharp edges or astringency.

◑ Finish

The finish is resonant and lingering, with fruit notes and subtle malt character extending across multiple sips. Bitterness fades gracefully, leaving a clean palate with a faint mineral dryness reminiscent of the white-wine character.

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.
