Peerd

Tap to rate

Citrus, passion fruit and pineapple lead this IPA. Behind them stand a special yeast and hops such as Amarillo, Mosaic and Simcoe. At 5.8 % it is brewed by Martinus on Kostersgang in Groningen's old town, in a building that housed a print shop for twenty years before the brew kettles replaced the press.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with vibrant citrus notes—lemon zest and bergamot—layered beneath tropical fruit aromas of passion fruit and ripe pineapple. Amarillo, Mosaic, and Simcoe hops contribute resinous, piney undertones with a subtle herbal edge. A clean, slightly fruity yeast character adds lift and balance without obscuring the hop-forward profile.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with bright citrus and tropical fruit flavors that persist through the mid-palate, where resinous and piney hop character becomes more pronounced. The bittering is assertive yet restrained at 60 IBU, providing structure without dominating the fruit-forward character. Malted grain provides a light, clean base that allows the hops and yeast to shine, with a dry finish and lingering hop resin on the palate.

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.
