Winter In Bangalore

Tap to rate

A dry-hopped winter IPA whose aroma is meant to carry the colourful, spicy mystique of India, a nod to an Indian aroma hop grown around Bangalore. Herkules, Chinook, Amarillo and Cascade are on the ingredient list, along with dried orange peel, and the bitterness is there. The name is a daydream against Danish winter darkness: a place that enjoys a comfortable 25 degrees all year, interrupted only by a few snow showers.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and bright, with hop bitterness arriving firmly mid-palate and sustaining throughout. The spiced character carries through seamlessly into the body, supported by a lean malt backbone and the orange adjunct providing subtle sweetness that never overwhelms. Amarillo, Chinook and Cascade create a layered bitterness that feels structured rather than harsh.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
