The bitterness of a beer is measured in international bitterness units (IBU). While most classic beer styles are within a pleasant range of between 10 and 45 IBU, craft beers often have a little more. India Pale Ales in particular often bring a considerable bitterness to the glass, which laypeople have to get used to. This increased bitterness is due to the excessive use of hops and usually also brings with it an increase in taste.
The Buddelship brewery also makes use of hops: using the green gold, the brewers from the Hanseatic city transform a classic lager into a so-called India Pale Lager, or IPL for short. The basis is a normal lager brewed from Pilsner malt and oat malt and brewed with Cashmere and Ariana hops. The brew was refined by cold hopping with Chinook, Mosaic and Petit Blanc hops.
The hop bomb flows into the glass in a shiny gold tone and is crowned with a good amount of slightly tinted foam. The first sip is wonderfully fruity and mild, but then the powerful 65 bitter units enter the stage and dominate the play of aromas with their force.
An unusual camp that will especially appeal to the hopheads among you.
