Description
Initiated by 3 young graduates, the Ninkasi was born from a simple idea: to implant the concept of American micro-breweries in France. This project was completed in 1997 and takes place in Lyon, on the Gerland site. In 2012, the factory moved 50km from Lyon, to Tarare more precisely. The new playground for our brewers has a capacity of 5,000 liters per brew (i.e. 23,000 HL / year).

Thanks Fred for this bottle coming from go go drink, Lancy. On my personal view, this ipa on the American way that it is not a French creation of the heart of the wine country was good, rather dry, watery with decent notes of hops, dry malt, 10.05.21, rating it at home, Epalinges.

Bottle. Color: Hazy amber, off-white head. Aroma: Hop pallets. Taste: Harsh hop pallets, some citrus fruit and stone fruit. Moderate sweet, harsh medium bitterness. Medium body, just below average carbonation. Mwah. A bit like eating hop pellets.
