Místní Zimní 14°

Tap to rate

Orange, clove and Chinook hops meet caramel malts in this winter twist on an IPA: the spices go into the maturation and recall warm winter drinks, so the beer gives a warming feeling on raw days and refreshes on milder ones. A Red IPA with orange peel and clove, devised and brewed by sub-brewer Dan on pale ale, Carapils, Carared and barley malt with Saaz Special and Chinook.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with warming spice notes—clove and subtle cinnamon from the maturation—layered with fresh orange peel and zest. Beneath sits a restrained but clean caramel malt base, with the Chinook hops providing a gentle herbal and resinous undertone that keeps the bouquet balanced rather than aggressive.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and full-bodied, with clove and orange taking the foreground while Carapils and Carared malts deliver gentle caramel sweetness. The mid-palate develops a controlled bitterness from Chinook hops—around 45 IBU—that cuts through without overwhelming the spiced character, finishing with a peppery, warming sensation typical of winter spice blends.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and moderately dry, with lingering clove and a subtle peppery warmth that encourages reflection. The refreshing quality persists despite the warming sensation, making this brew equally inviting on both cold and mild days.

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.
