anders IPA
Anders IPA from Orca Bräu in Nuremberg, Germany, is a Franconian take on the American-inspired India Pale Ale style. It pours a clear golden to amber hue with a white, persistent head. The aroma is lively and hop-forward, offering notes of citrus, tropical fruit, and a hint of resinous pine, underpinned by a clean, bready malt backbone. On the palate, the beer delivers a balanced bitterness alongside juicy, fruity hop character, while the malt provides just enough structure to keep things grounded. The finish is crisp and pleasantly dry, with lingering hoppy warmth that invites another sip. A well-crafted IPA that showcases Orca Bräu's modern brewing sensibility rooted in Bavarian tradition.
