Boréale IPA

◎ Appearance

Amber colour with a warm, honeyed glow characteristic of a fuller malt bill. Unfiltered, presenting a subtle haze that softens the edges without obscuring the body. A dense, persistent head forms and clings to the glass with firm adhesion.

◌ Aroma

Grapefruit and floral Edelhopfen character dominates the nose, lending bright citrus notes and a delicate herbal quality. Underneath runs a mineral, pithy edge—earthy and clean—anchored by toasted caramel Malz that adds depth and prevents harshness. The overall impression is balanced between hop volatility and malt sweetness.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with assertive bitterness that gains backbone from the substantial malt body. Grapefruit and floral hop flavours unfold across the mid-palate, complemented by mineral notes and a subtle caramel undertone that smooths the 50 IBU into a structured rather than harsh bitterness. Herbal and faintly tropical notes round out the complexity without muddying the profile.

◑ Finish

The finish is notably long, with firm bitterness holding steady into the aftertaste. Mineral and herbal echoes persist alongside a dry, pithy quality that invites the next sip.

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

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
