Beerfarm India Pale Ale

Tap to rate

An American IPA in the older, balanced mould rather than the juicy one. Mosaic and Citra lead with pineapple and stone fruit, New Zealand Motueka adds citrus zest and a light spice, and Magnum sets 50 IBU of clean, firm bitterness. Crystal and Caramunich malts give the copper colour and a thread of toffee that the bitterness cuts straight through. Resinous on the nose, dry at the end.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Beerfarm India Pale Ale

◎ Appearance

A copper-gold body with bright clarity and moderate carbonation. The head forms with good density and displays persistent lacing down the glass, characteristic of a well-balanced ale. The colour derives from Crystal and Caramunich malts, giving the beer a warm, inviting hue.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with resinous hop character, where Mosaic and Citra deliver distinct pineapple and stone fruit notes. Motueka contributes a bright citrus zest with subtle spice undertones. Behind the hops, a thread of toffee and caramel from the malt base rounds out the profile without dominating.

◐ Taste

On the palate, the beer opens with clean citrus and stone fruit character that carries through the mid-palate. The 50 IBU of Magnum bitterness is firm and linear, cutting cleanly through the toffee sweetness of the malt backbone without harshness. The overall impression is dry and crisp, with hop bitterness and resin taking the lead.

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.

About American IPA

Style guide · what to expect · how to find alternatives

What is a American IPA?

IPAs are hop-forward ales with 5.5–7.5% ABV and IBU 40–70+. Bold hop aroma — citrus, tropical, resinous — with firm bitterness and a dry, clean finish.
