Troost IPA

Tap to rate

Tropical fruit, citrus and floral notes lead the nose; on the palate come caramel, honey and orange, then a fine bitter finish. Magnum, Cascade and Chinook set a firm but balanced bitterness, and a Citra dry hop pushes the hop aroma forward. A full, layered 6% IPA at 40 IBU, brewed in volume at Westergas.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent tropical fruit and citrus notes, followed by delicate floral undertones that emerge as the beer warms. The Citra dry hop amplifies these bright aromatics, while subtle caramel and honey from the Malz provide a gentle, sweet backdrop that balances the noble hop character.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with a full, layered sweetness of caramel and honey, then orange notes bloom across the mid-palate. Magnum, Cascade, and Chinook hops build a firm yet measured bitterness that remains composed at 40 IBU, finishing clean without harshness or astringency.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and lingering, with the hop bitterness receding gracefully to leave a dry, refreshing aftertaste. The 6% ABV sits lightly beneath the flavor profile, allowing the hop and Malz character to carry through to the end.

Serve at 8–11°C

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.
