Indie IPA
A balanced, pleasant hop character with a noticeable bitterness that DAVO deliberately keeps in check: too much hop makes a beer so bitter that you would have to chew it. At 7.5% ABV and 48 IBU, this American IPA from Deventer is made for sipping, a few glasses at a time. The brewery calls it mild, and for a good reason.
