Dry and firmly bitter.
The malt sets the frame and lets the hops carry the flavour.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for DH IPA
◎ Appearance
Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright, lively carbonation. The head forms quickly and holds with fine Schaumkleiden along the glass walls, indicating proper carbonation and hop presence.
◌ Aroma
Aromatic and complex on the nose, driven by varied dry hopping. Citrus and tropical notes dominate in the foreground, with supporting layers of pine and resinous character. White floral esters add subtle brightness without obscuring the hop-forward profile.
◐ Taste
Hoppy and assertive on the palate, with a crisp entry and pronounced bitterness that develops steadily through the mid-palate. The citrus and tropical notes from the aroma translate into the taste, balanced by a clean, dry Malz foundation that prevents the bitterness from becoming harsh. The 55 IBU integrates well, delivering intense but drinkable character.
◑ Finish
Medium-length finish with lingering bitterness and a resinous, slightly piney aftertaste. The beer fades cleanly without residual sweetness.
Serve & Enjoy
How to get the most out of DH IPA

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
Store in a cool, dark place. Check the best-before date on the label for guidance.
