Naked On The Beach

Tap to rate

A toast to the naturists who aren't afraid to bare it all on the beach, and to open-mindedness and free body culture. It is a dry-hopped session IPA, hopped with Amarillo and Citra, and oats go into the mash next to the barley malt. Two of them are expressly allowed. It is brewed in a former fish-packing warehouse on the harbour of Hvide Sande.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Naked On The Beach

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass in delicate lacing. The carbonation is lively and well-integrated, creating a bright, inviting visual presence. The beer reflects light with a clean, luminous quality typical of session ales brewed with oats.

◌ Aroma

A vibrant citrus-forward nose dominated by Amarillo and Citra hops, with prominent notes of grapefruit zest and dried orange peel. The oat malt contributes a subtle, soft cereal undertone that doesn't overpower the hoppy character. The overall impression is clean and aromatic without any harsh alcohol or vegetal notes.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a crisp, dry entry showcasing the citrus and herbal qualities of the hop blend. Mid-palate develops a light, smooth bitterness (40 IBU) that balances the slight sweetness from the oat-barley malt bill without dominating. The finish is clean and mineral-driven, with the hops fading gracefully into a lingering citrus dryness.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is short to medium in length, leaving a pleasant citrus bite and a clean, refreshing sensation on the palate. There is no residual sweetness or harsh bitterness, only the fading echo of bright hop character.

Serve at 7–10°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.
