Azacca IPA

Tap to rate

A single-hop IPA built on Azacca. The nose is zesty and sharp with grapefruit, orange peel and mango, and a resinous pine note runs underneath it. A lean cracker-malt base keeps the beer crisp rather than sweet, and the bitterness is firm and clean through to a dry finish. Medium-light in body, with the citrus holding on after the swallow.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with sharp, zesty citrus—grapefruit and orange peel dominate the top note, with tropical mango adding depth. A resinous pine character threads underneath, grounding the fruity brightness without overwhelming it. The overall impression is clean and herbaceous rather than sweet or floral.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and dry, with the lean cracker-malt base providing structure without sweetness. Citrus and resinous pine develop through the mid-palate, supported by a firm, clean bitterness. The finish is dry and persistent, with citrus notes lingering well after the swallow.

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.
