Pomelo - India Pale Ale

Beer style: IPA with grapefruit flavor

The pomelo, also known as grapefruit in German, is a citrus fruit that impresses with its sheer size The usually circular fruit is a cross between a mandarin and an orange, but tastes completely different The firm, pale yellow segments have a tangy, refreshing flavor and should definitely be freed from their hard, tough skin before consumption Peeling the fruit is quite an effort, but you are rewarded with delicious pulp

If you want to save yourself the work, you can simply reach for the beer of the same name Brouwerij Noordt from Rotterdam has dedicated a brew to the magnificent fruit Pomelo is a wonderfully drinkable India Pale Ale that doesn't contain grapefruit, but tastes just the same

The citrus beer flows into the glass in a light hazelnut brown and has a small head of foam on the cloudy, shimmering copper body Light malt and the aroma of freshly squeezed pomelo mingle on the nose to create an irresistible note The first sip skillfully continues this first impression: Juicy citrus notes spread across the palate, the grain underpins the fruit explosion with mild sweetness and pithy hints The clear bitterness stays discreetly in the background and leaves plenty of room for the citrus freshness

If you're looking for a fresh, citrusy India Pale Ale, you've come to the right place!
