American IPA 7 º 70 IBU

Schoppe Bräu

This robust American IPA, crafted straight outta Kreuzberg, offers a true celebration of diverse, multi-layered hop complexity. A rich, golden pour yields a bold sensory collage, bursting with intense tropical fruit, resinous pine, and bright citrus aromas. The palate is defined by an assertive, clean bitterness balanced by a sturdy, dryish malt backbone, highlighting a complex fusion of New World hops that mimic the vibrant diversity of its urban home. Smooth, moderately strong, and finishing with a crisp, lingering hoppy resonance, it represents a bold, uncompromising take on the classic style.

Appearance. Pours a deep gold to light amber with a slight, natural yeast haze. Crowned by a dense, persistent, off-white head that leaves thick, clinging lacing on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity hop-forward aroma featuring a multi-layered blend of ripe passionfruit, grapefruit zest, and resinous pine. Supported by a clean, low, grainy-sweet pale malt presence and minimal, clean fermentation esters.

Taste. A powerful first impression of bright citrus and tropical fruit hops, followed quickly by a firm, clean bitterness. Low, toasted, and slightly bready malt flavors provide a supportive backbone. Fermentation is highly clean, leading into a dry, crisply bitter finish with a long, resinous aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-bodied with a smooth, moderately creamy texture. Medium-high carbonation provides a lively bite, accompanied by a very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth that reflects its 7% ABV without any harshness.
