Birell IPA

Tap to rate

Inspired by popular IPAs, this non-alcoholic Birell tastes refreshing and carries a hint of citrus aroma. Cold hopping with the Citra hop provides that citrus note. Like all Birell beers it is made with special yeasts that leave only minimal alcohol and take the beer through the same fermentation and maturation as classic Czech beers.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus notes from cold-hopped Citra, delivering pronounced orange and grapefruit aromatics. Beneath the hop character lies a clean, subtle malt backbone with a light grain presence that supports without overwhelming the fresh, pithy hop expression.

◐ Taste

The palate opens crisp and refreshing, with zesty citrus flavors mirroring the aroma. The mid-palate displays a balanced hop bitterness—measured at 60 IBU and present but not aggressive—alongside restrained malt sweetness that allows the hop character to remain prominent without harshness.

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.
