Libertas India Pale Ale 14

Tap to rate

A top-fermented beer of golden to copper colour with a lower malt body and a higher bitterness. The intense hop aroma comes from American hops, used in the kettle and for cold hopping in the tank during maturation. After the sip a dry finish and hop bitterness stay in the mouth. Hopped with Willamette, Citra and Chinook; brewed year-round.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and clean, with citrus and resinous hop flavors taking immediate command on the palate. The mid-palate maintains a lean, dry malt body that never becomes sweet, while bittering compounds build steadily into a lingering, well-defined hop bite that defines the finish.

◑ Finish

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.
