Hop & happening - Pale Ale

The hoppiest beer in the range from Dutch brewery Gebrouwen door Vrouwen is Hop and Happening This hop bomb is a crisp pale ale with a palatable 4.5% alcohol, brewed with generous amounts of the two hop varieties Oktawia and Callista Callista lends the beer subtle notes of citrus fruit and passion fruit, Oktawia complements the fruit salad with juicy honeydew melon and the aroma of white grapes In order to elicit the maximum flavor and aroma from the hops, the two brewers used the technique of cold hopping This method involves hopping the beer again after the first hopping The second addition of hops deepens the flavor without increasing the bitterness excessively

The result of this elaborate process is a deep golden beer with a fleeting crown of snow-white, dense-pored foam The fruity beer has a dominant pineapple note on the nose, which combines with the aroma of green hop cones to create a delicious blend The first sip is also fruity at first: Juicy notes of citrus and tropical fruit flood the mouth before a crisp bitterness sets in and balances out the playful sweetness Thanks to its summery, quaffable style, the Pale Ale from Gebrouwen door Vrouwen goes wonderfully with hearty dishes from the grill A well-topped burger, for example, harmonizes wonderfully with the fruity freshness
