Überseehopfen - IPA - Insel Brauerei
The Insel Brauerei Überseehopfen was quite a suprise for my second #BeerSaturday Challange as I never had this one bevor. Überseehopfen translates to overseas hops.
I expected a rough sail and strong, in-your-face hops. But I was surprised with a bottle aged and very calm IPA that has only cautious notes of Sorachi Ace Hops.
This beer is part of the breweries Sea Series:
Further sailing on the calm waters of Überseehopfen I enjoyed a rather dry and tart IPA. But with very refreshing, slightly bitter, cirtic fruit notes. And overall a very smooth and foamy mouthfeel.
The Insel Brauerei recommends trinking it for a beer tasting, so I got that right. ;] Or drink it in combination with a lobster dish.
Here is a shot of the beer itself with a bit more light, because it's not as dark as in the other pictures.
Cheers! T8
Looks damn cool and the page from the brewery is as well interesting.
But sooo far away.
true, if I ever make it to rügen I defn. will vistit them. Untill then I am happy that Real started to sell the beers here.
