Indira Blondi

Tap to rate

The tropical princess of the line-up, Indira Blondi joined the opening duo of Pils and Vienna Lager as the brewery's first India Pale Ale. A regal hop character meets caramel-like, tropical sweetness, and the beer sparkles with spirited fizz. A small share of orange peel adds a subtle fruitiness, while oats give it a creamy mouthfeel.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and approachable, with the oat component lending a creamy, rounded mouthfeel that carries caramel-like sweetness across the palate. The noble hop bitterness develops gradually in the mid-palate, remaining balanced and measured at 42 IBU, while orange peel adds a gentle fruitiness that prevents any cloying character.

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.
