Unser India Pale Ale erreicht mit seinen 5 Hopfensorten eine tiefe, runde Bittere. Das aromatische Bier wird durch die spezielle Kalthopfung blumig und frisch.

For this brewery, we could say that it is not a bad IPA. It is really malty, sweet, balanced with hop, not bad, 06.09.16, drinking it at Petit-Lancy with Fred.

0.33 l bottle from Switzerland, huge thanks to my GF. Pours deep, clear golden with thick, but qickly disappearing head. Nose is reminiscent of a lager with some mandatory fruity and flowery notes - tho these latter only come through faintly. This lager-like characteristic is present in taste as well: although - the quite faint - bitter tones are there, I can't help feeling like I was drinking a hoplager. Also, the bitterness is only as strong as one would expect from a pale ale or hoppier lager, definitely not enough for an IPA. Some biscuity malt and weak honey are there, too. Light bodied with average carbo. Messy and out-of-style.

[as Locher IPA India Pale Ale, ABV 6.0%] Bottiglia. Al naso arrivano sentori di luppolo. L'intensità olfattiva è elevata e la persistenza è sufficiente. Il mantello birroso superiore non è molto persistente. La grandezza delle bollicine, ine è a grana fine. Il liquido appare nuvoloso. Il colore è ambrato. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è pronunciato. La forza gustativa è normale e si prolunga in modo sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. Al palato finiscono note di miele, cracker, frutta secca, un accenno di resinoso, agrumi, pompelmo e ananas

330ml bottle shared with Haddock, who was at pains to point out that this is 6% ABV not 8% ABV. Misty amber, with a nice settled white head. Aroma and taste seem to bring to mind IPAs of the pre-craft days, nicely fruity in an orangey citrus and amber malt way, soft bitterness. Nice
