Herslev IPA

Tap to rate

Sharp bitterness, fresh fruitiness and plenty of hops define this IPA, with an aroma of citrus, fruit and flowers balanced on pale malts. The hops lead the flavour, supported by the fullness of the malt. Brewed with organic barley and wheat and inspired by the American IPA tradition, it is a stronger and hoppier beer than the English IPA.

Serve at 8–11°C

Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.

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.

Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.
