A variation of our “classic” ReAle based on hops! Different hop varieties are added during the last 10 minutes of the boil, we add 3 times as much! The result is an explosion of aromas, from citrusy to resins (pine and incense). At the first sip your taste buds will be pleasantly overdriven by its bitterness that lead to a very pleasant and persistent tangerine note.

Original rating 2014: Hoppy aroma of citrus, orange peel, grapefruit, tropical fruits. Flavour is light sweet leading to a dry bitter finish. Extremely well-balanced, quite fresh. I could drink kegs of this. Fantastic IPA. ******* ReRate 2018: I thought I might have overrated this because of limited IPA experience back in 2014, but I'm pleased to report that I still find this incredibly good, especially after having burned out on juicy NEIPA. This is very much how I prefer my IPA, tropical and citrussy hops with pine resin, bittersweetish with a malt backbone, fairly West Coast.

Tangerine and a lot of lime. Seems like this keg may be past it's prime. Almost has a partly unfermented vibe. Hazy orange pour with decent head. Light tangy finish. Tap at Roma Beer Co.

Bière pression bue à Bari au mercantile nove. Robe dorée cuivrée, mousse en collet fin persistant. Arômes de fruits, levure, céréales. Bouche ronde, sur le caramel, très proche de la reale Ipa de la même brasserie. Pas mal mais manque de distinction avec l'autre bière reale.

Auch wenn die Brauerei nach der Übernahme durch AB InBev nicht unbedingt sympathischer geworden ist, so bekommt man trotzden ein mehr als solides Bierchen. Dies ist eine intensivere Version des klassischen ReAle, da hier der Hopfen (und vermutlich mehr davon) erst in den letzten 10 Minuten des Kochens zugegeben werden. Es ist ein bernsteinfarbenes IPA, das fast schon in RIchtung Red Ale geht. Die Aromen nach getrockneten Beeren und Hefe gefallen mir sehr gut, wenn sie für mich aber etwas harmonischer kommen könnten. Kann man gut trinken, muss man aber nicht unbedingt haben.

33cl bottle from hopt.it. Pours hazy gold, with fine white foam. Aroma is hoppy, a little tropical. Body is average, like carbonation. Taste is medium-high bitter, but also with some sweetness behind. Final is pretty rich, fruity and medium sweet.

Smell- weak bit to medium, hops, fruits, caramel. Foam- thin, hoppy, some fruits in the mix, citrus, bitterness. Head is small, creamy yellow, white color. Appearance-brewer bottle cap, color changes depending on the beer, this one seems unique. Either way, the logo is great, the bottle is unique to the brewer, the label is average though this time very close to style bonus, but no. Cloudy orange amber, medium to high carbonation. From- snifter Taste - fruity, sticky, hops, malt, caramel, sweetness, bitterness. I like the texture, the stickiness. The aftertaste is bitter, bit too bitter for me. Feels nice, but is not my style.
