HOPIQ TAKE

Opperbacco Trebbiano IGA if you want wine-forward elegance with restrained bitterness, Ribò if you want a more fruit-driven, approachable grape ale. Both sit at the same ABV and IBU, so this is really about how each brewery interprets the Italian Grape Ale style—one leans into the wine grape's delicate minerality, the other into ripe fruit expression. Neither overwhelms; both are genuinely easy-drinking beers that blur the line between beer and wine in different ways.

TASTING NOTES

Opperbacco Trebbiano IGA

FruityFloralSweet

Opperbacco Trebbiano IGA hits you with white wine aromatics first—there's actual grape skin tannin in there, not just flavor. The body feels almost dry, like the beer itself is hosting the Trebbiano grape rather than hiding behind it. Bitterness is barely there (15 IBU is a whisper), so what you're left with is this clean, slightly herbal finish that sits on your palate like you're finishing a glass of crisp white. It's restrained in a way that feels intentional, not timid.

Ribò

FruityPeachFloral

Ribò comes across more immediately fruit-forward—there's stone fruit and a gentle floral quality that makes you aware you're drinking something sweet-leaning from the start. The grape presence here feels less like wine structure and more like actual grape juice character. It drinks rounder, smoother, less interested in wine's tannin complexity and more interested in just being pleasant and approachable. This one's easier to casually reach for without thinking about it.
