Session IPA 4.5 º

Brasserie Smash

This session-strength American IPA presents a vibrant tapestry of tropical and citrus notes. The aromatic profile is dominated by the distinct coconut and tropical cream characteristics of Sabro, harmonizing with the bright lime and grapefruit zest of Citra hops. A foundation of Golden Promise malt provides a clean, subtly nutty backbone, while flaked oats and Dextrin malt contribute to a silky, soft texture. The New-England yeast strain enhances the fruit-forward character with light, well-integrated esters. Refreshing and bright, it finishes with a crisp bitterness and a lingering tropical hop trail, beautifully balancing modern hop intensity with approachable drinkability.

Appearance. Pale straw to medium gold (4–6 SRM). Pours with a persistent, dense white head leaving intricate lacing. Visible haze from the use of flaked oats and New-England yeast.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent lime, tangerine, and coconut from the Citra and Sabro hops. Subtle notes of pineapple and stone fruit are supported by a low, grainy, sweet malt presence. Clean fermentation with very light fruity esters.

Taste. Immediate hop impact of tropical fruit and cedar. Citra provides a sharp citrus punch, while Sabro adds a unique creaminess and tropical complexity. Bitterness is moderate to firm but remains smooth without harshness. The Golden Promise malt offers a light toasted grain character. The finish is medium-dry and clean with a refreshing, hoppy aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture attributed to the flaked oats. Moderate to high carbonation. No perceived alcohol warmth or astringency.
