A Heroine on the Hunt for Hops
She is strong, she is brave, and she has a mission. This is the second time that the Hoplander has set out in search of the perfect hops. Her adventure is full of dangers and challenges, but she is undaunted and driven by the desire to create a masterpiece: An immortal Single Hop IPA that lets the chosen hops shine.
There can only be one – The KRUSH™
After eventful months full of adventures and trials, far away from home, the Hoplander returns. She finally has the perfect hops in her hands, the US variety Krush™. This gives our beer an intense, sweet and fruity flavour. Dominant notes of freshly cut orange and juicy mango are rounded off by nuances of peach and resin, once again making our Hoplander an immortal IPA.

Thinnish body, med-high carbo. Medium bitter, feels even higher due to low body. Med-light sweet, backG hops tho. Hops-centered, classic citrusy, zesty, dank hops character. Good one.

0.33 l bottle from 'Craftbeershop.com', best before April 2026. Hazy, golden orange with a medium large, frothy, slowly diminishing, white head. Intensely fruity-floral, a bit dank aroma of passion fruit, pineapple, quince and some gooseberry. Slightly sweet, very fruity-floral and a little dank taste of passion fruit, pineapple, some gooseberry and hints of quince, followed by a short, gently bitter, slightly dry finish. Medium body, gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Pleasantly fresh and fruity IPA, very well-balanced and quaffable.

Tap at Doldenmädel Leipzig. Beer in the glass deep golden, nice head. Fine fresh hoppy aroma. Starts intense fruity-hoppy, notes of lemon, peaches, apricot. Mild sweetness. Finish more and more dry-hoppy, mild bitterness. Lemon hints, some grapes. Finish well balanced. Really nice!
