Toucan Tropic

Tap to rate

A double dry-hopped IPA in the range since 2021. The second hop addition is meant to double the flavour: mango and citrus dominate, with a note of pine underneath and heavy hop aromas throughout. The character is intensely juicy and tropical, backed by a stated 65 IBU at 6.7%. The brewery's own keywords for it are fruity, tropical and hoppy.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by ripe mango and juicy citrus notes from the double dry-hop charge, which impart an intensely aromatic character. Pine undertones emerge beneath the fruit-forward profile, grounding the bouquet with a classic noble hop signature and creating a balanced, complex aromatic impression.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a juicy, tropical fruit entry that carries mango and citrus through the mid-palate with clean, bright acidity. The 65 IBU bitterness arrives as a measured counterpoint without harshness, supported by a light malt backbone that allows the hop character to shine while maintaining drinkability at 6.7% ABV.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and relatively dry, with lingering citrus and pine notes that fade gradually. A pleasant, lasting hop bitterness frames the aftertaste without becoming astringent.

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.
