IPA - India Pale Ale 7 º 45 IBU

Brouwerij ’t IJ

Brouwerij ’t IJ IPA is a compelling Specialty IPA at 7% ABV, merging a punchy hop profile with a smooth, medium-bodied structure. This beer delivers intense aromas of grapefruit and flowers, amplified by dry-hopping during the maturation phase. While described by the brewery as dark-blonde, its sensory profile is defined by a bold fruitiness and a sharp, assertive bitterness that remains persistent on the palate. The balance is decidedly hop-forward, supported by a clean fermentation and subtle malt undertones of light caramel and toast. It finishes remarkably dry, leaving a lingering, resinous fruit character that invites another sip.

Appearance. Dark brown to mahogany (SRM 25–40) and clear. Features a moderate, light tan head with good persistence and light lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent grapefruit and floral notes. Low malt character with hints of toast and light caramel sweetness. Clean fermentation profile.

Taste. Initial impression is hop-forward with grapefruit and floral flavors. Medium-high bitterness (contextual 50–90 IBU) that is firm but not harsh. Malt flavor is low with light caramel and toffee notes, supporting the hops without roasted or burnt character. Finishes dry with a long, lingering bitter and fruity aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-bodied and smooth. Moderate carbonation. Noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth and low astringency.
