Petroleum I.P.A.

Tap to rate

Floral and fruity on the nose, this IPA is crisp on the palate, with lively carbonation carrying the hops along. It is brewed with American hops, and the bitterness has been turned well down, so flowers and fruit from the hops fill more than the bite. That low bitterness lets the hop aroma show clearly and makes the beer seem less strong than its number suggests.

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.
