Dry and assertively bitter.

The malt sets the frame and lets the hops carry the flavour.

Tasting Notes

Appearance

7Brau IPA displays a bright golden hue with excellent clarity and a light straw tint characteristic of the style. The beer presents a modest white head that demonstrates good retention, supported by crisp carbonation that creates a lively visual presentation.

Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus notes—lemon and grapefruit—supported by pronounced tropical fruit esters that suggest mango and passionfruit. Pine and resinous hop character provide backbone, with subtle floral and herbal undertones that prevent the profile from becoming one-dimensional.

Taste

Entry is crisp and clean with immediate citrus impact followed by balanced malt sweetness that grounds the beer. Mid-palate develops tropical and herbal complexity with assertive but well-integrated bitterness (55 IBU) that never overwhelms, maintaining approachability while delivering satisfying hop character.
