Tap to rate

ROG IPA is a pale, top-fermented beer from Radegast in Nošovice with a pleasant hop character, supported by a distinct hop aroma that comes from dry hopping.

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.
