Hopverdorie

Tap to rate

A single-hop IPA built on Mosaic, an American hop: lots of citrus and a lightly perfumed edge in aroma and taste. The brewers aimed to give it body alongside plenty of hops, and kept the bitterness from getting too extreme. Brewed in the cellars of the Commanderie in Nijmegen at 7% ABV.

A bright golden-amber body with excellent clarity and fine, persistent carbonation. The head forms a creamy collar that clings to the glass with good retention, leaving delicate lacing on each sip.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus—lemon zest and grapefruit pith—layered beneath a subtle floral perfume that feels refined rather than cloying. Mosaic hop character dominates the top notes, with a clean malt backbone providing gentle support without intrusive sweetness.

◐ Taste

Entry is full and clean, with immediate citrus definition balanced by moderate bitterness that sits at 60 IBU—assertive but not sharp. The mid-palate develops a subtle tropical note alongside the floral hop signature, while the underlying Malz structure gives body and prevents the beer from becoming thin or one-dimensional. Bitterness fades gradually rather than lingering harshly.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and medium-long, with the hop character receding gracefully as a dry, lightly bitter aftertaste persists. A lingering citrus note remains on the palate without fatigue.

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.
