Indian Tribute

Tap to rate

Debuted in 2008 and immediately took Sweden's best microbrewed beer prize. Cascade and Centennial American hops on a pilsner + caramel malt base — big citrus and pine aromatics, textbook West Coast bitterness that stays balanced by the caramel. This is Oppigårds' definition of a classic IPA.

Cascade and Centennial hops deliver a forthright citrus and pine character that dominates the nose without aggression. Underneath, caramel Malz provides a subtle sweetness and depth, grounding the hop aromatics in a balanced, approachable foundation that reads as textbook American IPA.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a clean, citrus-forward hop bite that evolves into a pronounced piney bitterness on the mid-palate. Caramel Malz contributes a gentle sweetness that prevents the 61 IBU from dominating, while a dry, lingering finish and orange notes sustain the West Coast character throughout.

◑ Finish

A crisp, dry conclusion with sustained hop bitterness and earthy undertones. The aftertaste remains clean and refreshing, allowing the caramel notes to emerge briefly before the drying effect takes hold.

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.
