IPA 15

Tap to rate

A top-fermented IPA at 15.5° Stammwürze, brewed from pale ale and caramel malt and hopped with Citra and Mosaic. It is unfiltered and unpasteurised and pours a dark golden colour. The aroma is fruity and citrusy and carries through into the taste, which is backed by a noticeable bitterness. It comes from the Vysočina Region, where the large brewhouse opened in October 2017.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for IPA 15

◎ Appearance

The beer presents a dark golden hue, bright and inviting under light. The unfiltered, unpasteurised nature creates a gentle haze that sits pleasantly in the glass. A stable, creamy head forms and lingers, leaving fine lacing on the sides of the glass as you drink.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with ripe citrus and stone fruit — characteristic of the Citra and Mosaic hop combination. Subtle caramel undertones from the malt base emerge beneath the fruit-forward impression. The aromatic profile is clean and inviting, with no rough edges or sulphur notes.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with bright citrus and tropical fruit, supported by a clean, moderately assertive bitterness that arrives mid-palate and persists. The pale and caramel malts provide a balanced sweetness and body without becoming cloying. At 6.5% ABV, the alcohol remains well-integrated and unobtrusive.

◑ Finish

The bitterness carries into a medium-length finish, tapering gradually rather than abruptly. A dry, hoppy aftertaste lingers pleasantly, with echoes of citrus zest.

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.
