ipanema

Ipanema is one of the trendiest, liveliest and liveliest districts in the Brazilian metropolis of Rio de Janeiro. An absolute highlight of the district is the kilometer-long beach that stretches along the coast of Ipanema. A strip of paradise nestles against the picturesque backdrop of tropical forests, rugged rock formations and skyscrapers towering into the sky: Fine, white sand invites you to linger, while the crystal-clear water promises refreshment. The beach, which is lined with coconut palms, attracts huge crowds of people looking for relaxation every year and is one of the most famous beaches in the world.

When the brewers at the Southern California brewery Novo Brazil need to relax from their hard work in the brewhouse, this is the beach they dream of. In these situations, a beer that bears the same name as the dream location and is just as refreshing as a dip in the Atlantic Ocean provides the perfect holiday feeling.

Ipanema is a powerful Double India Pale Ale with a full 8.3% alcohol content and is brewed with the aroma-intensive hop varieties Citra, Centennial and Mosaic. The hop-dominant beer specialty presents itself in a densely cloudy amber-gold with creamy, white foam. The beer smells and tastes intensely of tropical fruits, citrus fruits and freshly baked biscuits. With a staggering 90 bitterness units, Ipanema skilfully and cleanly balances the fruity and juicy sweetness.
