Projekt 001 DIPA - Poppels DIPA
Poppels Bryggeri

 

 

I was strolling through the offerings at a beer shop. I picked this one as it was a DIPA and Poppel is a small rural community in the North of Belgium. I thought it was a very local low volume microbrew beer. Bit surprised it turned out to be a Swede. Not like Swedes are plentifull in our shops.

Hazy orange beer with a very thin head.
Scent gives oranges, pomgranate, grapefruit, fresh citrus hops, slight sweet malts .
Flavour is rich, creamy and full. modest, but obviously present bitterness. fruity and floral aroma, some honey sweetness. Dades, banana, mandarin orange and pancake dough.

This is extremely drinkable.

 

330 ml stubby bottle, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 8%. Orange colour, small white head. Aroma of fruity and piney hops, notes of orange marmalade. Fizzy mouthfeel. Citric and piney flavour, plenty of resinous bittering hops.

 

 

 

 

Pours a clear and calm looking dark cooper color.

Smell is clean, with subtle notes of mango and hay.

This is a straight-forward beer. Almost feels more worthy of IPA-status than DIPA. Some fruity and tropical fruit sweetness, but otherwise not much. Light body, moderate carbonation, and overall drinkable.

This beer manages to hit the overlap between good and boring.
