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.

Very dry and assertively bitter.

A trim base, a hop-led finish — the classic setup for a hop-forward beer.

Wider bands mean we're less certain about the exact position.

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.
