Here at Hornbeer, we are crazy about IPA's. That is why we have now made an organic one, as a tribute to the English breweries that invented this type of beer. The beer type IPA (Indian Pale Ale) originated in the 1700s, when Britain sailed their beers to their colony India, where it was too hot to brew beer locally but the demand for thirst-quenching beer was high among Brits at India's trading stations. But the beer had a tough time coping with the long trip, from England to India. The British found the solution to this, it was higher alcohol content and more added hops, and thus the IPA was born. We say thank you very much for that.

Copenhagen 16/12 2020. 33 cl bottle from Meny, Østerfælled torv, Kbh. Ø. Drawing of sail ship manned by hop flowers sailing recklessly.
Pours unclear, golden yellow with a big, fluffy white head. Settles as uneven and at some places patchy yet frothy layer of foam. Crawling up the sides of the glass. Moderate lacing.
Aroma is medium intense with a sweet odor of exotic fruit mingling with a sharp citric scents. Sweet pineapple and peach. Citrus and grape fruit. A bit acerbic.
Light carbonation. Slightly thick, soft, smooth, lightly tingling texture.
Flavor is medium intense with a medium strong sweetness followed and balanced by a medium strong bitterness. Aftertaste is bitter with a light sweet undercurrent. Finish is fairly dry.
Decent if a bit generic Indian Pale Ale. With ship full of reckless hops on the label I had expected a bit more zest.
