Twist

Pivovar Clock
Czech Republic·Red IPA
Tap to rate

Reddish in the glass under a low, dense head, Twist opens with a refreshing aroma of citrus and tropical fruit. The malty body is medium-full and well attenuated with a low crispness; the bitterness is on the higher side yet balanced, tucked behind the pronounced flavour of the hops. Citra and Centennial take the lead, used in the kettle and again for dry-hopping, with the Citra as Cryo hops. 14° original gravity.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus and tropical stone fruit notes, characteristic of Citra and Centennial hops used both in the kettle and as dry-hop additions. The Cryo Citra deepens the citric intensity without harshness. A subtle malty undertone provides backbone without overshadowing the hop-forward profile.

◐ Taste

Entry is refreshing, with medium-full body and well-attenuated fermentation lending a clean palate. Mid-palate reveals layered hop bitterness at the higher end (60 IBU), balanced by pronounced citrus and tropical fruit flavors that sit prominently forward. The bitterness persists but remains tucked behind the hop expression, avoiding any harsh edge.

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.

About Red IPA

What is a Red IPA?

IPAs are hop-forward ales with 5.5–7.5% ABV and IBU 40–70+. Bold hop aroma — citrus, tropical, resinous — with firm bitterness and a dry, clean finish.

Finding a similar Red IPA

hopIQ matches by flavor profile — not just style label. A beer with the same hoppy, citrusy, tropical character as Twist will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
