Brouwerij D'n Draok 073 Zomerbier
This Specialty IPA, crafted as a celebratory summer edition, presents a striking contrast between its deep visual profile and vibrant hop character. Despite its darker hue, the beer remains exceptionally approachable for the season. The aroma is led by high hop intensity, featuring bright tropical fruit and citrus notes that dance over a subtle foundation of toasted malt and a whisper of chocolate. On the palate, a firm bitterness is balanced by a dry, clean finish. The interplay of resinous pine and berry hop flavors ensures a refreshing character, honoring the brewer’s milestone with a sophisticated, highly drinkable take on the dark IPA style.
Appearance. Dark brown to near black (SRM 30-35) with good clarity. It supports a persistent, moderate-sized light tan head with fine lacing.
Aroma. High hop aroma intensity featuring prominent notes of grapefruit, passion fruit, and a hint of resinous pine. The malt presence is low but distinct, offering background scents of toasted bread and a very light chocolate sweetness. Fermentation is clean with a faint touch of fruity esters.
Taste. The initial impression is hop-forward, bursting with citrus and melon flavors. A medium-high bitterness provides a crisp structure without being harsh. The malt flavor is restrained, providing a gentle nutty and toasty support that avoids burnt or ashy qualities. It finishes dry and clean with a lingering hoppy aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate, providing a lively prickle on the tongue. Alcohol warmth is light and well-integrated.
