Liselund India Pale Ale

Tap to rate

An India pale ale named after Liselund in eastern Møn, a romantic park with a pleasure palace and lovely streams, created in the 1700s by the de la Calmette family. The son Charles died young and left Liselund and his wife Martha with heavy debt. Martha's bitterness was natural, and a little of it went into this beer.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Liselund India Pale Ale

◎ Appearance

Liselund presents a bright, pale golden hue with excellent clarity and fine carbonation visible throughout the glass. A dense white head forms on the pour and clings to the glass with good retention and lacing, leaving a delicate linen-like pattern as you drink.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with vibrant citrus notes—orange zest and grapefruit skin—layered with hints of tropical fruit, suggesting passion fruit and mango. Beneath the bright hop character lies a soft, clean Malz foundation with a subtle floral undertone that keeps the aroma balanced and inviting.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and refreshing, with citrus and tropical fruit flavors taking the lead across the palate. The mid-palate builds into a pronounced bitter finish—earthy and resinous without harshness—that lingers cleanly without overwhelming the delicate fruit character. The 60 IBU provides structure and weight to an otherwise light-bodied ale.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is dry and persistent, with the bitter notes fading gradually into a faintly herbal, slightly astringent fade. A hint of marmalade sweetness emerges in the final moments before the beer dries completely.

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.
