Green Devil IPA

Tap to rate

Launched in 2011 as the stronger sibling of Citra, Green Devil is a golden IPA double-hopped with the same single variety and matured in cask for at least six weeks. The aroma is intense: passion fruit, pineapple and mango, with grapefruit behind. On the palate the tropical fruit is joined by a citrus bitterness, the pale malt stays unobtrusive, and the finish is crisp and dry. At 6.0 % it sits well above the other permanent beers.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Green Devil IPA

◎ Appearance

Golden yellow in the glass with excellent clarity and bright luminosity. The head is dense and persistent, clinging to the sides of the glass with fine lacing. Carbonation is evident and well-integrated, maintaining the beer's visual liveliness throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose is assertive and layered, dominated by ripe tropical stone fruit—passion fruit, pineapple, and mango leap immediately from the glass. Underneath this abundance sits a bright grapefruit note that adds citrus depth and prevents the aroma from becoming one-dimensional. The Edelhopfen character is unmistakable and fresh.

◐ Taste

Tropical fruit carries into the palate seamlessly, joined by a clean citrus bitterness that builds gradually across the mid-palate. The pale malt remains restrained, providing only a light, unobtrusive foundation that allows the hop character to command attention. No harshness or rough edges appear; the bitterness is refined and integrated.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp, dry, and of moderate length, with the bitterness fading to a clean, refreshing aftertaste. No sticky sweetness or astringency lingers; the beer closes cleanly and leaves the palate ready for the next sip.

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.
