Belgian IPA 7 º 41 IBU

LePlan-Vermeersch

LePlan IPA presents a vibrant sensory profile that deviates from darker Specialty IPA variants, offering a luminous, lightly hazy blonde appearance. The nose is dominated by high-intensity hop aromas where zesty grapefruit takes center stage, complemented by a fresh and bright character. On the palate, a sturdy malt structure provides a balanced foundation for expressive fruitiness, leading into a crisp and pleasantly light bitter finish. The fine effervescence and creamy white foam enhance the mouthfeel, making this 7% ABV ale feel remarkably fresh and well-integrated, showcasing a modern, hop-forward balance with a clean, approachable finish.

Appearance. Lightly hazy blonde (4–6 SRM) with a dense, creamy white foam head and fine, persistent effervescence.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity hop-forward aroma, dominated by fresh citrus and grapefruit. Subtle background of bready, pilsner-style malt with a clean fermentation profile and no significant esters.

Taste. Initial impression is fresh and hop-driven with prominent grapefruit and citrus zest flavors. A solid but clean malt structure provides balance without sweetness. Bitterness is moderate and well-integrated, leading to a light, clean, and pleasantly dry finish.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, creamy texture. High carbonation with a fine, prickly effervescence. Very light alcohol warmth that is well-integrated for its strength.
