This Session IPA presents a vibrant sensory profile defined by the tropical and stone fruit intensity of Nectaron and Ekuanot hops. Effet Papillon utilizes a foundation of Nugget hops to provide a subtle herbal depth that anchors the more volatile fruit notes. The malt backbone, constructed from Pilsen and Vienna malts, offers a clean, crackery, and lightly toasted character that supports the hop-forward balance without adding heavy sweetness. Despite its sessionable strength, the beer delivers a punchy aromatic experience of pineapple, peach, and lime, finishing crisp and dry with a clean fermentation profile that emphasizes hop purity and refreshment.
Appearance.Pale gold (5 SRM) with a bright clarity and a very slight, natural haze. Features a medium-sized, long-lasting white head with dense bubbles and significant lacing.
Aroma.High intensity hop aroma with dominant notes of passion fruit, pineapple, and peach from the Nectaron. Secondary notes of lime zest and melon from Ekuanot are present, alongside a faint spicy and herbal undertone from Nugget. Low grainy maltiness with a hint of toasted bread.
Taste.Immediate hop-forward flavors of tropical fruit and citrus zest. A medium-high bitterness is present but well-integrated, supported by a low, clean malt profile of white bread and light grain. The fermentation is clean, leading to a dry, crisp finish with a lingering resinous and fruity aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with a smooth, soft texture. Carbonation is medium-high, lending a lively and refreshing quality. There is no perceived alcohol warmth or astringency.
