HIP HOP Italian Pale Ale è una birra color giallo oro, cristallina, dalla bella schiuma bianca, dalla grana fine, persistente e dalla buona aderenza al vetro del bicchiere.

Una birra ad alta fermentazione ricca in profumi di agrumi (arancia, pompelmo) e di resine, accompagnati da una fresca nota erbacea. Profumi regalati dal cascade e dal Galaxy, luppoli che usati in dry hopping regalano a questa IPA un bouquet ricco e fresco.

In bocca delicate le note del malto, che virano verso un tono di cereale biscottato, pane tostato scavalcato da un profilo amaro intenso ma gradevole e ben bilanciato.
Il corpo è medio, la frizzantezza media e rinfrescante.
Al palato risulta equilibrata: il luppolo le dona aromi terrosi, fruttati ed erbacei; il finale è pulito, il retrogusto regala le note di frutta precedentemente percepite al palato: arancia, pompelmo, un tocco di frutta tropicale.

La chiusura è secca, e lascia la bocca pulita.

From Lidl. Probably the worst name and label I've ever seen in a beer. Never expected to try an "Italian Pale Ale " called Hip Hop but here we are. Golden colour with long lasting medium white head. Aroma is fruity mainly apricot and quince jam. A bit too sweet. Bitter dry finish

0.33 l bottle. Pours deep, clean golden and long lasting, thin white head. Apart from the usual hoppy notes, there’s something slightly unpleasant in aroma that reminds me of popcorn, maybe diacetyl? In taste however it’s quite alright, no trace of the said poporny notes, only the bitterness is present. Long lasting bitter finish, light body, soft carbonation.

Bottiglia. Un territorio olfattivo dominato dal luppolo. L'intensità olfattiva è elevata, permanendo in maniera sufficiente. Il mantello birroso superiore resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido si presenta velato. Il colore è ambrato. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è deciso. La forza gustativa è elevata e la permanenza è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano luppolate. Il retrogusto è intenso. Sulla lingua si attestano impressioni di miele, crosta di pane, frutta secca, luppolo, resina, pino, agrumi, pompelmo, ananas, arancia amara e spezie.

Rocky white head on a pale amber coloured body. Malt, tea, & berry aroma. Medium bodied, foamy & cloying. Berries, biscuit, fruity hops & bitter citrussy tastes. Tastes like an EIPA - nice enough.

Bottle from Lidl, Inverurie. It oiy e clear deep copper with a small white head. The aroma is sweet, sticky, sappy, resin, perfumed orange, tangerine, marmalade and gummy candy. The taste is crispy, dry, bitter - sweet, sappy, resinous, kick of booze, toffee, resin, sappy, pithy, zesty, touch of orange marmalade and some bread with a short, dryish finish. Medium body and fine to average carbonation. Not a huge amount of hop character to speak of. Drinks fine, just lacklustre.
