More information about Orca Brau Choose Happy
The Choose Happy Smoothie IPA from Orca Bräu is a perfectly balanced interplay of fruity, intense smoothies and the resinous, hoppy aroma of classic India Pale Ales.
How does the Choose Happy Smoothie IPA taste?
Sweet, fruity-sweet, velvety-smooth and a good dose of resinous hops - that probably sums up the taste of Choose Happy Smoothie IPA in a nutshell.
Cold-hopped with Mosaic and Citra, a couple of decent loads of mango and sour cherries are added in the lager tank, adding their fruity notes to the beer's hoppy character. Barley, wheat and oat malt, along with a helping of lactose, provide the velvety smooth texture of Choose Happy Smoothie IPA. This is what summer tastes like!
What is the alcohol content of Choose Happy Smoothie IPA?
At 7.4% vol. and 19° Plato, Choose Happy Smoothie IPA is one of the stronger representatives of its kind. But thanks to the intense fruitiness and the addition of lactose, this beer is great to drink - almost like a dessert in liquid form.
