🌍 Italy · American IPA · One of 279 American IPAs in hopIQ

Vecchia Orsa's American IPA — a bold, assertive hoppy beer that placed fifth nationally in Slow Food Italy's beer rankings. Pale gold with a fluffy white head; the nose is decisively hoppy with citrus zest, pine resin and tropical undertones. The palate delivers a firm, clean bitterness over a lean malt base, with citrus and piney hop flavour running through to a dry, satisfying finish at 45 IBUs. A serious IPA from a brewery better known for its social mission than its hop-forward ambitions.

Tulip glass
Recommended for this style

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.
