Sloeber IPA

◎ Appearance

Sloeber IPA presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass. Carbonation is crisp and evident, generating steady streams of tiny bubbles that maintain the foam structure throughout the tasting. The visual impression is one of cleanliness and vibrancy.

◌ Aroma

The nose is immediately dominated by hop-derived citrus and orange notes, with distinct tropical fruit character—pineapple and stone fruit—rising prominently. A resinous pine undertone adds structural depth, while the Belgian yeast contributes subtle fruity esters that soften the overall impression. The interplay between yeast phenolics and noble hop aromatics creates a layered, inviting profile.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a bright, fruity attack that carries the citrus and tropical character through the mid-palate. Bitterness builds deliberately, neither overwhelming nor receding, creating genuine balance between the malt sweetness and the Magnum, Citra, Amarillo and Simcoe hop bite. Body is full without heaviness, supporting both fruitiness and bitterness equally.

◑ Finish

The finish is firm and decidedly bitter, with the pine and resin notes persisting alongside a dry, mineral quality. Bitterness lingers cleanly for several seconds without becoming astringent, leaving the palate refreshed and ready for the next sip.

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.
