Carlsberg IPA
Carlsberg IPA, previously sold as Brewmasters IPA, is a dry-hopped India pale ale that the brewery links to the long sea voyages to India. It pours golden with a pale head. The hop aroma is fresh and floral, led by elderflower, and the palate pairs a pleasant malt sweetness with a clean, delicate bitterness that lingers in the finish. The brewery describes it as balanced and easy to drink.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Carlsberg IPA
Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.
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.
