Krenkerup IPA

◎ Appearance

Golden amber hue with a soft, hazy appearance characteristic of an unfiltered IPA. The head forms with moderate density and displays good retention, leaving delicate lacing down the glass. Fine sediment from the dry-hopping process settles visibly, contributing to the natural, unpolished character.

◌ Aroma

A pronounced floral hop character dominates the nose, delivered through two weeks of dry-hopping in the lagering tank. Behind the florals sit soft caramel malt notes that frame the bouquet without heaviness. Fresh stone fruit emerges—crushed grape, mandarin, and grapefruit—layering gently over the hop base without sharp citrus bite.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with caramel malt sweetness that carries through the mid-palate, grounding the beer before gentle, soft hop bitterness arrives. The 40 IBU creates balance rather than assertiveness; the dry-hopping contributes aromatic complexity without additional harshness. Fruity notes of grape and citrus linger on the tongue, supported by a clean, slightly herbaceous quality.

◑ Finish

The finish carries the grape-like aroma forward into a moderately dry aftertaste, with citrus brightness receding gradually. Clean, crisp, and unhurried—the low-to-moderate ABV allows the hop character to fade without alcohol warmth.
