Arnaud renovated an old barn and installed brewing tanks: the brand and the workshop were born! He immediately associated with a friend they met in Paris and they decide to embark on the adventure together by making artisanal French beers in the Sens region, in the countryside and with the barley grown by his parents.
It is in this natural break that we find the Popihn brewery workshop, with the very latest brewing equipment. They readily admit to being influenced and inspired by the breweries of the United States and England.
Very aromatic although a little bitter IPAs which give pride of place to exotic fruits (lemon, guava, mango, grapefruit!) And sour drinks that are not very developed in France! This is their hallmark: originality and innovation, but each time with the highest quality! Their daring paid off: they are now key players in these “niche” markets!

Hazy yellow colour with a mediumsized white foamy head, which leaves some lace. Aroma is citrus, some oats, mild toffee and some slight pineapple and mild floral tones to it. Flavour is quite similar to what the aroma was.

Avec cette Icauneipa, la brasserie popinh nous démontre sa parfaite maîtrise du style. Car du haut de seulement 5,6 %, elle est relativement impressionnante par son amertume et la présence de ses arômes. Au programme Cryo pop, simcoe et talus pour les houblons et orge, blé et avoine pour les malts. Le visuel est sur une robe jaune voilée avec une fine effervescence soutenue et une mousse blanche de 1 cm. Le nez est sur un cocktail de pamplemousse, pêche, orange et mangue. La dégustation laisse découvrir une belle amertume enlevée avec un houblonnage à cru bien poussé amenant des arômes d'herbes conséquents mais un brin piquant (malheureusement). Les arômes fruités sont bien présents en bouches avec une bonne corpulence. L'équilibre est quasi parfait avec un alcool au top pour 5,6 %. La longueur est pour sa part acceptable. Neipa qui mérite d'être découverte.
Magus, mõru, hapukas, röstine, šokolaad, ploomine, puuviljane, alkone. Ok.
Nicely tart with a deep and lasting flavour of apricot.
