Pais Tropical - India Pale Ale

País Tropical is a so-called Solar Session IPA The brewers of the only beer of its kind to date are the guys from Oedipus, who brew a special beer every year to thank the generous donors of their solar system for their financial help In a crowdfunding campaign, the Amsterdammers raised the money for 24 solar panels The solar system is now enthroned on the roof of the brewery and provides sunny electricity for beer production

This year's thank-you beer for the donors is a 4.5% Session IPA with a fruity, light character that brings to mind summer days and lavish vacations in exotic countries The hand-picked hop varieties Citra, Simcoe, Mosaic and Mandarina Bavaria hops, while the added oat flakes ensure a silky-soft mouthfeel. The beer flows into the glass in the light color of early morning sunshine and is adorned with a fleeting crown of white, airy foam, A fresh aroma of green hops and tropical fruit rises to the nose and entices you to take your first sip The first sip reveals a light-footed body with fruity sweetness and delicate acidity Juicy notes of pineapple, mango, papaya, mandarin, grapefruit and passion fruit wash over the palate and put your taste buds in a vacation mood A hint of bitterness underlines the fruity interplay of aromas and rounds off the tart beer enjoyment
