Das IPA von Hops & Barley, vom Faß vor Ort in F'hain, 12.8.2025. - "IPA" und "Pale Ale" sind bei dieser Brauerei Sammelbegriffe, unter denen "regelmäßig wechselnde Kombinationen" verschiedener Hopfen- wie Malzsorten angeboten werden, die nur manchmal eine bestimmte Hopfensorte im Namen tragen, aber immer hopfengestopft sind. "Lasst euch vor Ort überraschen", sagt die Website. Das tu ich doch gerne! - Rotgold, fast klar. - In der Nase etwas reichere aber (für diese Biersorte) noch maßvolle zitrusfruchtige Hopfung, Anklänge an Honig. - Antrunk sauber und dicht malzig mit leiser Karamelnote, nur dezenter Süße und gediegener, leicht tropenfruchtiger Hopfung mit Pampelmuse. Milder rezent, vollmundig. Im Abgang kräftige pampelmusige und herbale Hopfenherbe. - Solides, reich aber maßvoll gehopftes IPA ohne die unsaubere hefige Fruchtigkeit und knallige Bittere so mancher Craftbiere.
