Session IPA 3.8 º 21 IBU

Craywinckelhof

Craywinckelhof KraaiKe Zilver presents as a remarkably approachable American IPA, defined by its lean profile and vibrant hop expression. Despite its session-strength 3.8% ABV, it maintains a classic hoppy character, leading with a bouquet of fresh citrus and tropical passionfruit. The sensory experience is characterized by a bright, pearling carbonation that lifts the spicy and resinous hop notes across a clean, light malt base. A distinctive, lingering bitterness defines the dry finish, making it a thirst-quenching interpretation of the style that emphasizes hop-derived complexity over alcoholic weight and malt density, resulting in a crisp, refreshing profile.

Appearance. Medium gold with brilliant clarity and a lively, pearling carbonation. It supports a medium-sized, persistent white head with good lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent notes of fresh citrus zest and tropical passionfruit. Supported by a low, clean, grainy-sweet malt character and a light, spicy hop quality. Fermentation profile is clean with no significant esters.

Taste. Initial hop-forward impression of passionfruit and citrus pith. Low grainy malt flavor provides a neutral foundation for a medium-high bitterness. The mid-palate introduces a spicy hop character that carries into a very dry, crisp finish with a lingering, clean, bitter aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Light to medium-light body with a smooth texture. Features high carbonation that provides a refreshing, prickly sensation. Alcohol warmth is entirely absent.
