Browar Birbant
Szpunt Browar Rzemieślniczy

Hypnohopus is a potent Double IPA crafted through a collaboration between Birbant and Szpunt, showcasing a complex hop profile of Citra, Nelson Sauvin, Vic Secret, and Azzaca. This beer delivers an intense sensory experience, leading with pungent aromas of crushed white grapes, passionfruit, and bright citrus. The flavor profile is deeply saturated with tropical notes of pineapple and mango, supported by a clean, lean malt backbone that allows the hops to remain the focal point. Despite its strength, the finish is remarkably dry and crisp, offering a firm but smooth bitterness that underscores its juicy character.

Appearance. Deep gold to light orange with a persistent, creamy white head and excellent lacing. The beer displays a notable haze, characteristic of the modern juicy approach to the style.

Aroma. Intense hop aroma featuring the white grape and gooseberry notes of Nelson Sauvin, paired with the pineapple and passionfruit character of Vic Secret. Supporting notes of mango from Azzaca and grapefruit from Citra are prominent, with a very low, neutral malt background and a clean fermentation profile.

Taste. Initial impression is an explosion of tropical fruit and citrus. Prominent hop flavors of pineapple, lime zest, and stone fruit dominate. Bitterness is moderately high and firm but smooth, avoiding harshness. The malt character is low and neutral, providing a soft foundation for the hops. Finishes dry with a lingering resinous and tropical aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, soft texture. Moderate to medium-high carbonation provides a crisp lift. A well-integrated, gentle alcohol warmth is present, without any harsh hop-derived astringency.
