IPA - India Pale Ale 5.2 º 22 IBU

CRAK Brewery

CRAK’s Tisane IPA is a refreshing American Pale Ale that masterfully integrates a complex botanical infusion with the distinct white wine and gooseberry notes of Nelson Sauvin hops. Pale yellow and bright, it offers a layered sensory experience where lemon balm, chamomile, and passion flower enhance the hop’s natural floral-tropical character. Licorice root and orange peel provide a subtle, earthy depth, while blackberry leaves add a leafy, garden-fresh complexity. The result is a highly aromatic and drinkable ale that balances botanical bitterness with a clean, light malt backbone, evoking a serene, meadow-like profile that remains crisp and modern.

Appearance. Pale yellow (SRM 4-5) with brilliant clarity. The beer is topped by a persistent, fine-textured white head with excellent lacing.

Aroma. Moderately high intensity. Bright gooseberry and white grape notes from Nelson Sauvin lead, followed by a complex herbal bouquet of chamomile and lemon balm. Subtle hints of citrus zest and a faint, sweet-earthy licorice note mingle with low, neutral grainy maltiness.

Taste. Initial impression is dry and botanical. The flavor is a unique fusion of Nelson Sauvin tropical fruit and grape-like notes with distinct floral tea qualities from the passion flower and chamomile. Moderate bitterness is present, enhanced by the herbal infusion rather than clashing with it. The finish is dry, clean, and lingering with botanical nuances of blackberry leaf.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with moderate to high carbonation, creating a crisp and refreshing texture. Alcohol warmth is negligible at 5.2% ABV. Smooth finish without botanical astringency.
