Köstritzer Schwarzbierbrauerei

English Pale Ale·Germany·6.5% ABV·One of 21 English Pale Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Köstritzer Pale Ale's citrusy and hoppy character. Köstritzer Pale Ale, sold under the Meisterwerke label, is a strong, top-fermented pale ale at 6.5 % ABV and 14.5 °P, based on the brewery's reading of British ale tradition and first released in 2014. It pours a bright orange-gold with a light, fine head. Aroma hops give an intense nose of passion fruit, orange blossom and grapefruit over light caramel. The palate is dry and slim with lively carbonation; malt sweetness and tropical citrus fruit lead into a firm, assertive hop bitterness.
