Session IPA 3.4 º

Time & Tide Brewing

This vibrant Session IPA delivers an explosive aromatic profile despite its modest stature. A heavy-hitting hop quartet of Mosaic, Galaxy, Motueka, and Vic Secret drives a complex sensory experience characterized by bright passionfruit, crushed lime, and ripe pineapple. The presence of Mosaic introduces subtle notes of blueberry and earth, while Galaxy and Vic Secret provide a lush tropical depth. Underlying these intense hop layers is a lean, crackery malt base that ensures a crisp, refreshing finish. Its low alcohol content and sharp, clean bitterness make it highly approachable, offering the punch of a full-strength American IPA in a lighter, more agile frame.

Appearance. Medium gold (7 SRM) with a brilliant clarity, though a very slight haze is present. It supports a medium-sized, frothy white head with excellent persistence and fine lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma dominated by tropical fruit (passionfruit, pineapple) and citrus (lime zest). Mosaic adds a hint of berry and dank pine, while Vic Secret and Galaxy contribute stone fruit notes. Malt character is low, clean, and grainy-sweet.

Taste. Initial impression is hop-forward and crisp. High hop flavor intensity features tropical stone fruit from Galaxy and Vic Secret, bright lime from Motueka, and a touch of berry. Malt flavor is low, providing a light, crackery base. Bitterness is medium-high, balancing the lean body. Fermentation is clean, leading to a dry, refreshing finish with a lingering hoppy aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, lively texture. Carbonation is medium-high. There is no perceived alcohol warmth or astringency, making it exceptionally drinkable.
