By definition, an India pale ale is hoppier and higher in alcohol than its little brother, pale ale—and we deliver in spades. One of the most well-respected and best-selling IPAs in the country, this golden beauty explodes with tropical, citrusy, piney hop flavors and aromas, all perfectly balanced by a subtle malt character. This crisp, extra hoppy brew is hugely refreshing on a hot day, but will always deliver no matter when you choose to drink it.

Dank aroma with subtle pine. Copper color and thick white head. Resinous hop bitter flavor with minimal sweet malt and some grapefruit taste. Dank, bitter, weed aftertaste

Dorada, ligeramente nebulosa, generosa espuma efervescente. Intenso aroma a lúpulo, olor a campo. En boca es punzante, buen punto de gas. Intenso amargor de principio a fin. Rico sabor con notas herbales y sobre todo frutales, uva, pomelo. Bastante potente.

Can, 0.33l. Brewed in Berlin. Hazy copper pour, one finger frothy white head. Nose is caramel malt and citrus fruits, vague honey. Medium body, soft carbonation. Very soft mouthfeel, texture has really pleasant thickness to it. Herbal bitter peppery taste. Caramel malts in the background, grassy hops, citrus fruits. Strong herbal notes, spicy. Slight alcohol burn. Long finish, dry with lasting strong bitterness. Overall, pretty good IPA. Bitter and tasty.

Can brewed in Berlin, bought at Biervana in Munich. Nice head at first that doesn't stick around. Slightly hazy orange color. Funky dank pine resin nose with some fruits and citrus. I know it's a classic - but it's just too bitter with too little remaining sugar to balance it. The aftertaste is like you've just sucked on an underripe grapefruit, and it just doesn't go away. This beer and others like it are why I didn't touch IPA for years. Nevertheless it's a nice blend of hop flavors, if you like that overpowering bitterness along with it.

0.33l can from Stockmann Tallinn, brewed in Berlin. Pours deep orange, super foamy head. Canned in January (drinking in June), still time until BBD but foam and nose already hint that it could be fresher. Lightly malty nose, fruity hops, some plastic. Tastes medium-bodied, good level of bitterness, not too much, not too little. Some softer fruits and finishes with longer bitter linger. Relatively simple IPA, solid but not overly exciting.

Great balance, and the creaminess of the body just rounds it out into a really great beer.

Berlin version, tap at Fakin. Amber body, white head. Lovely lemon-lime notes in the aroma, backed by light candyish maltiness, but quite clean and well balanced. Perfumey, lemony-herbal taste, again backed by the slightly candyish maltiness, ending bitterish and a bit dry. Very well executed, very good beer, but I've honestly expected far more.
