IPA

The Welde brewery in Baden prides itself on its hand-brewed beer creations and has a balanced range of newly interpreted classics, A favorite in the repertoire of the sophisticated craft brewers is their India Pale Ale This beer style is both a classic and a craft beer and is a revived version of a beer originally intended for export to the colonies The Welde example is cold-hopped with the hop varieties Azacca, Cascade and Sorachi Ace and is bursting with fruity and fresh flavor nuances

Welde's IPA presents itself in a shimmering copper-red chestnut hue in the glass and forms a hand's breadth of white, fine-pored foam A tantalizing aroma emerges from the volatile splendour, composed of fruity notes, caramel and spicy herbal notes The first sip reveals a voluminous body with palate-flattering carbonic acid, Mild sweetness and strong bitterness Green fruits kick things off, followed by tangy citrus notes, juicy orange, golden mango and a hint of pine resin as the drink progresses The malt contributes hints of oven-fresh cookies and soft caramel notes The finish is crisply bitter and makes you want another bottle with pine notes and fruity sweetness

The India Pale Ale from Braumanufaktur Welde is a quaffable thirst quencher with a fruity character
