Description
Brew Age is a young and innovative company taking old brewing traditions and developing them further. The newly created beers and beer styles are then to offer new impressions and flavours to the beer expert and the beer newbie alike.

We went through various scenarios in our heads: our own brewery vs. gypsy brewing, establishing a brand and, most importantly, developing recipes. Finally we settled on the concept of gypsy brewing. Following an intense search for a partner brewery, we finally managed to start our cooperation with Reinhold Barta at Brauhaus Gusswerk. Today, we still brew our beers at Gusswerk, and in a way you can call us sedentary gypsy brewers: in contrast to classic gypsy brewers, who produce their beer (or have it produced) at various breweries, we brew our beers almost exclusively at Gusswerk, strictly according to our own specifications. For the near future, we are planning to build our own brewery in Vienna.

Bottle. Slightly unclear golden body with a medium sized, dense, lacing off-white head. Strong hoppy aroma, quite grassy and green in the nose. Flavor is fresh and fruity, quite bitter, grassy, sweet malt, hint of caramel, grapefruit and pine. Fine balanced body, long lasting bitter aftertaste. A nice IMP IPA that actually tastes less one dimensional than it seems from this rating. Fine balance between sweetness, bitterness and alcohol.

Bottle at home from Beerlovers. Pours jet black with thick beige head. Nose is faint roasted and earthy notes and more prominent cocoa powder. Taste is bitter, showing the above notes, closing with medium, bitter and somewhat dry finish. Light bodied with soft carbo. It feels a bit tired (BB 12/18) and it lacks a pronounced hop character, in this state it reminds me more of a bitter stout than a BIPA.
