La Sagra India

Tap to rate

La Sagra's India Pale Ale follows the old British practice of hopping beer hard for long journeys and lands at 7.2 percent with 70 IBU. It pours a strong orange. The nose is hop-led and citrusy, with grapefruit peel and orange zest over a firm malt base. On the palate a fruity body of apricot and ripe citrus carries the bitterness, which is pronounced and lingering yet never harsh. The finish is dry and resinous, and the alcohol stays in the background.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a fruity, medium-bodied entry of apricot and ripe citrus that carries into the mid-palate. Bitterness builds steadily and becomes pronounced, though it remains integrated and never turns harsh; the malt sweetness provides sufficient counterweight. The finish arrives dry and resinous, with the alcohol sitting comfortably in the background.

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.
