Dreher IPA
Dreher Brewery

I have to agree with what flagmantho said about this beer. It is a cromulent representative of the style, with its flaws and everything (aroma quite okay, taste a bit less and the feel lags a bit behind that) still I got to say that this is the best commercially brewed IPA in Hungary I have ever had. At least I can say that the way it starts out really does start out like a proper American IPA. If only they hadn’t cut corners, it could have been a “real” IPA, this way it is quite a watered down version of one. Still, I appreciate the effort, good to know that Dreher upped their game quite a bit.

Poured from 500mL can into a tall kitchen glass. Best by 2/7/23. The label says "with 6 kinds of hops".

Appearance: medium golden hue with a clear body and two fingers of frothy, pillowy ivory foam atop, leaving a nice lace on the glass as it dissipates.

Smell: a bit of sweet, toasty malt, with a nice dose of earthy hops that also have a light citrusy component. Not too bad.

Taste: there's a lightness to the malt, though like the aroma it is a bit on the sweet side. The hops are relatively bright, and earthy and citrusy in character. Overall not a bad example of the style.

Mouthfeel: medium body with a decent level of carbonation and creaminess.

Overall: to me this beer isn't particularly revolutionary, but it's a perfectly cromulent IPA. Worth having if there isn't any craft beer option.
