Vecchia Orsa IPA
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.
