Franks IPA
Franks IPA balances hop bitterness, aroma and alcohol, and wraps plenty of bittering units in a pleasant malt body. The hops go in at every stage: mash hops, first-run hops, kettle hops and aroma hops. Grauballe Bryghus itself uses this beer as its example of a brew that is bold and demands attention, in contrast to the mild, fresh Røde Kristian.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Franks IPA
Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.
The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.

Finding a similar IPA
