🌍 Italy · American IPA · One of 279 American IPAs in hopIQ

The flagship IPA from Trieste's Cavana district brewpub — brewed on-site and poured fresh at the tap. Dark gold and hazy with Simcoe-driven hop character: tropical fruit, pine resin and a firm bitter backbone at 6.0% ABV. Best enjoyed at the brewpub watching the tanks through the glass wall, metres from where this beer was made, in the ancient harbour quarter of one of Italy's most atmospheric port cities.

Tulip glass
Recommended for this style

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.

Store in a cool, dark place. Check the best-before date on the label for guidance.
