Amer-Amer
Amer-Amer is De Ranke's idea of an American IPA with a Belgian twist. The brewery picked two American hop varieties but uses only whole cones grown in Belgium, which it says gives a better-balanced flavour and a less aggressive bitterness without losing intensity. A dry hopping with Cascade builds the aroma. It pours a slightly cloudy orange-amber under a solid off-white head. Pine, grapefruit and orange pith meet a resinous, faintly dank note on the nose, and the palate brings caramel malt, peppery spice and a firm, woody bitterness.

Serve at 8–11°C for the best flavour balance and aroma expression.
The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.

What is a Belgian 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.

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