Głęboka Woda IPA

Tap to rate

Browar Kormoran's IPA — 'Głęboka Woda' means 'Deep Water', a nod to the deep Masurian lakes surrounding Olsztyn. American and New World hops deliver citrus peel, tropical fruit and pine with a firm bitter finish at 65 IBU. Głęboka Woda IPA is the craft side of a brewery more traditionally known for lager: ambitious and well-executed.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with zesty citrus and hoppy intensity, transitioning through layers of pine, herbal complexity, and subtle tropical fruit on the mid-palate. A firm but refined bitterness builds progressively, balanced by just enough malty sweetness to prevent harshness.
