About

Tempest Brewing Company's The Pale Armadillo is a Session IPA that delivers serious hop character without the alcohol weight. Brewed in Galashiels, Scotland, this beer pairs West Coast hop varieties with Scottish malts for a crisp, refreshing pale ale. The aroma opens with grapefruit and tropical fruit notes, with hints of tangerine and mango. On the palate, zesty citrus and resinous hop bitterness take the lead, balanced by a clean, grainy malt foundation. The finish is dry and appropriately bitter for its strength, with a touch of mineral character. Despite its modest 3.8% ABV, this beer punches above its weight. A genuinely satisfying IPA for those seeking hop-forward flavour without the alcohol warmth.
