Idaho

Tap to rate

A special from the north-west of the USA: the brewery used Idaho 7 hops in combination with other American hops. Premiant, Idaho 7 and Amarillo go over Pilsner, Vienna, caramel and Munich malts, at 14° Plato.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Idaho

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a bright, sustained white head. The beer presents with lively carbonation that holds its foam collar with notable persistence, creating fine lacing on the glass as you drink.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus notes—lemon and grapefruit—backed by a pronounced herbal and piney character from the Idaho 7 and complementary American hops. Beneath the hop intensity lies a clean, understated malt base with subtle caramel sweetness and gentle Vienna malt depth.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with punchy hop bitterness balanced by moderate caramel malt sweetness and a pleasant resinous texture. Mid-palate delivers layers of citrus and stone fruit alongside earthy, piney notes; the 46 IBU provides assertive but not overwhelming bitterness, allowing the malt's Vienna and Munich character to anchor the experience.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and lingering, with hop bitterness and a subtle piney aftertaste that persists without harshness. Clean and refreshing, with the malt sweetness fading gracefully.

Serve at 8–11°C

Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.

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.

Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.

About IPA

Style guide · what to expect · how to find alternatives

What is a 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.

Finding a similar IPA

hopIQ matches by flavor profile — not just style label. A beer with the same hoppy, malty, caramel character as Idaho will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
