Niets zo vervelend als na een lange dag werk in de zinderende hitte zin in bier, maar er is geen bier. De Engelsen begrepen dat al in de 17e eeuw, en voegden wat extra hop en alcohol toe aan het bier dat houdbaar moest blijven gedurende de maandenlange reis overzee naar India. Onze India Pale Ale (IPA) is daar de hedendaagse, drinkvriendelijke variant op.
Maar liefst vijf citrusachtige hopsoorten geven onze amberkleurige India Pale Ale verrassend frisse tonen. Door de typisch bloemige en dennige tonen, en licht moutige smaak, is het bier heerlijk fris en niet te bitter in de afdronk. De Highhops wordt gebrouwen met toepassing van onze dry-hopping techniek.
Een geliefde IPA.

330ml bottle. Deep orangey amber colour, fine white foam head leaving lacing and zesty citrus aroma. Flavour is bready malt with some tangy citrusy bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry tangy bitter finish. Quite drinkable.

Hazy dark orange color with big head. Aroma is fruity hops, oranges, grapefruit, bread. Taste is bready, earthy, a bit fruity, mostly just bready. Meh. After it’s been in the mouth the aroma is mostly bready as well. Not the best.

Flaska från Saveur Bieré. Smak och doft av humle, malt, citrus med brödiga toner. Fruktig, lagom sötma, torr, beska med smak av grapefrukt och tall. Dock trött humle i den flaska jag drack.

330ml bottle from Saveur-Biere.fr. Pours clear amber with small off-whit ehead. Underlying malts and bitter tones with less hops than expected given the name. In that sense was a little disappointing and not a lot going on to really distinguish itself.

33cl bottle shared by Arve_Christian - thanks a lot! Pours almost clear golden with a white head. Fresh hoppy aroma with notes of tropical fruits, citrus and hints of pale malt, herbs and pine. Medium sweet with nice hoppy notes and a pleasant bitterness. Tasty and refreshing IPA!

Golden color with an off-white head with good retention and nice lacework. Aroma has notes of slightly oranges and grapefruit with some resins hints. Flavor is bittery with fruity notes, mainly orange, tangerine and grapefruit. Bittery final with medium duration.

My first beer from this new Utrecht brewery, an American-style India pale ale. Egg-white, moussy, stable head of medium thickness, supported by strong sparkling; colour a warm pinkish orange, slightly hazy, reminding me of a sunrise in September... Lovely aroma of citrussy hops and tons of fruit, forwarding impressions of fresh orange and mandarin, pink grapefruit, honey, banana, caramel candy, sweet white grapes, fresh mango, strawberries, vanilla extract, apple cake, fruit yoghurt, burnt wood, roasted peanuts, pine needles, toasted bread... Vividly fruity onset, mango, persimmon and dried apricot, sharp and minerally carbonation, hop bitterness setting in almost immediately (i.e. sooner than expected), only to increase towards the finish, over a backbone of nutty, subtly toasted and lightly bready malts, smooth and light on the tongue but not lacking in body; some spicy yeastiness accentuates the long, bone dry, peppery and floral, tonic water- and grapefruit-like hop bitterness which will stick with you for a long time. Both florally aromatic hops and the deep, leafy background bittering hops are there and in perfect balance. Totally quenching and elegant. But then, I’m a sucker for IPAs...

330ml bottle. Neglecting some floating chunks - clear amber colour with average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Piney, hoppy aroma, caramel malty background. Taste is dry, hoppy, piney, slightly caramel malty.
