A beer for connoisseurs and aficionados. India Pale Ale is named after those famous ales that, beginning in the seventeenth century, were loaded on ships headed for India. Since the ships had to cross the equator and there was no refrigeration of any type on board, the Pale Ale destined for India had a higher alcohol content and was made with a generous measure of hops, enabling it to better withstand long voyages. In revisiting this beer style, Theresianer Master Brewers chose to emulate the magnificent and traditional intense hoppiness. When combined with long aging, the result is a surprising aroma with floral and citrus nuances, and a distinct bitterness that fades to leave the impression of a nicely balanced body.

750 ml bottle. Unclear orange body with a medium sized, creamy off-white head. A bit weak in aroma, fruity with caramel malt. Flavor is not very bitter for an IPA, actually not much bitter at all. The hops is present with pine, fruit and grass but not particularly prominent, the hop flavor is more integrated with the malt flavor. Not a bad beer, but not very exiting either. Italian style IPA?

On tap. Copper color, wonderful fine creamy head. Fruity nose. Aroma is fruity, moderately malty and citrusy. Hops are not strong as usually found in the style but there is a fair amount of it, pleasantly aromatic. Taste is well balanced, texture is very fluffy, soft carbonation. Not sharp as usually IPAs are, this is very smooth one.

20.07.2013, 0,75l bottle @ home:
Big creamy longlasting head. Aroma is sweet, wet grain, caramel malts, dried fruits, dough, toffee, leafs, grass. Taste is slightly grassy and sweet, caramel malts, leafs, grass, toffee, dough, dried fruits, hints of pine needles and cardboard. Medium bitterness. Pretty boring really, and not really a typical IPA.
