crazy lines series white & red - pale ale

Hops are a fascinating plant, indispensable for modern brewing. The green cones give our favorite beverage its bitterness, its wonderful aroma, and make it last longer. While malt also plays a role, it is a secondary one in many styles. The history of hops as a cultivated plant begins in early medieval Europe: even then, beer was brewed in monasteries, and people began cultivating wild hops for brewing. From then on, the rise of hops was unstoppable, and the plant spread from Europe across North America to Asia. Today, it can even be found in New Zealand and Australia.

Hops have been cultivated in Poland for centuries, and there are several varieties that grow only there. Among the specialties of Polish hop cultivation are Amora Preta and Książęcy. Both offer dominant fruity and exotic flavor nuances that work wonderfully in modern styles.

Browar Nepomucen from Jutrosin has conjured up a Hazy Polish Pale Ale from two prominent varieties. This creation, part of the Crazy Lines Series, is called White & Red. The beer presents itself in the glass with a cloudy, grainy yellow hue and is adorned with a fleeting head of dense, white foam. This creamy brew is hopped to the brim and shines with tropical fruit, citrus, coconut, and a crisp bitterness.
