Ebeltoft IPA

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with moderate clarity, showing the characteristic cloudiness of an unfiltered beer. A dense, cream-colored head forms readily and clings to the glass with visible lacing, indicative of good protein content and carbonation. The body presents a full, rich presence in the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced American hop character—resinous, citrus-forward notes dominate, complemented by subtle spice and herbal undertones. English floor malt contributes a soft, slightly biscuity foundation that grounds the aromatic profile without overwhelming the hop expression. Fresh and inviting, with no oxidative or off-notes.

◐ Taste

Entry is full-bodied and immediately hoppy, with the American hops delivering bold resin and citrus notes alongside a peppery, warming spice. The mid-palate sustains this intensity while the English malt backbone provides smooth, clean structure—neither thin nor cloying. Bitterness builds steadily, reaching a firm 60 IBU presence that frames rather than dominates the flavor.

◑ Finish

The finish is long and lingering, dominated by a mild but persistent hop aftertaste that fades gradually into dry, resinous notes. No harsh astringency or lingering harshness—the beer remains eminently drinkable despite its assertive character.
