Brewship Revenge

Brauberger zu Lübeck
Tap to rate
🌍 Germany · IPA · One of 99 IPAs in hopIQ

Revenge follows the classic India pale ale of the nineteenth century, when heavy hopping and a higher strength were meant to keep the beer sound on the way to India. The colour is clear amber gold, beneath the hops a malt base of caramel and biscuit. Orange marmalade, grapefruit peel and a resinous, herbal note come through the aroma; the bitterness is firm and long and dries the finish without turning harsh.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Brewship Revenge

Appearance

Clear amber-gold in the glass, bright and translucent beneath the hop character. The head forms with solid retention, settling into a fine lacing that clings to the glass as you drink. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, supporting the beer's structure without dominance.

amber-goldclearpersistent head

Aroma

The nose opens with assertive noble hop character—orange marmalade and grapefruit peel lead, underpinned by a resinous, herbal layer that speaks to careful hop selection. Beneath the aromatics lies a supporting malt foundation of caramel and biscuit, adding warmth and body to the overall impression.

Taste

The palate enters with balanced bitterness and malt sweetness, the caramel and biscuit malz providing substance that anchors the assertive hop bitterness. The mid-palate reveals orange and grapefruit notes alongside a clean, herbal-resinous character that builds steadily without harshness. At 6.5% ABV, the beer carries enough strength to support the heavy hopping without becoming hot or alcoholic.

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of Brewship Revenge

Serve at 8–11°C
Refrigerate, then rest 2 min

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

Tulip glass
Recommended for this style

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.
