BRLO German IPA
Bottle: Unfiltered
Our reinterpretation of the classic India Pale Ale is brewed with 100% German ingredients. Hops from the Hallertau, malt from Franconica, and Berlin water combine in a deep amber package. The addition of dark malt brings dulcet notes of caramel which are balanced out by ripe red fruit and spiced aromas from German hops Polaris, and Hüll Melon.

Bottle.Dark amber colour with medium white head.Aroma of dry hops and wet tobacco nice fruity with hint of herbs easy to drink kind of beer really nice.
330ml Bottle from REWE Supermarket, Saarburg, Germany.
Aged for around 1 year. Hazy amber coloured with a thick white head of foam. It has a smooth orange and pine flavour with malt, citrus, oats and more spicy orange and pine on the almost creamy finish. Excellent!
Bottle at BRLO taproom, Berlin, 11/07/19.
Almost clear golden copper with a decent off white head.
Nose is orange peel, toasted malts and grains, citric kissed straw, a touch muted.
Taste comprises tangerine, melon, grass, grains.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with dusty hop bitterness.
So so affair.
Bottle. Clear dark gold with a nice white head. Aroma of melons, red berries, Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte, perfume and a little bit of citrus fruits. Taste of melons, fruits of the forest, malts, caramel, some honey and resin. Herbal bitterness. Medium carbonation. I’m not yet really sold on the concept of an all-German IPA but perhaps the next attempt I get my hands on will have a flavour profile more suited to my taste.
Bottle picked up from a large Kaufland be Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm and consumed at home Wednesday 10th March 2021 listening to Marc Riley on 6Music playing. We have the remainder of the Chicken Parm Roll-Ups from Sunday for tea tonight. This is a lovely IPA, really good, okay it's a little bit sweet and I am not a fan of the soapy, washing up liquid aroma but putting that to one side it has a nice bitterness, pleasant maltiness, perhaps could do with a little bit more bite but, nice, really nice.

The beer looks great. Golden with a huge lasting head.The beer is fruity (melon) end Herbal. The typical american and English Hop taste is more medicinal. Like a pilsener but then more.
Copenhagen 26/1 2021. 33 cl bottle from Brdr. D's Vinhandel, Rolighedsvej, Frb. C. BRLO's usual design with the bear, the corn and the hops this time in a white and purple version.
Pours unclear amber with a mid-sized white head. Fairly stable. Settles as thin, almost transparent layer of foam just covering the surface of the beer. Crawling up the sides of the glass. Substantial lacing.
Aroma is medium intense with a prominent, sweet malty odor mingling with lighter citric notes. Sweet pale malts with a touch of caramel and toffee. Cardboard. A bit of citrus.
Light carbonation. Slightly thick, oily, lightly tingling texture.
Flavor is fairly intense with a rather strong sweetness followed by a more moderate bitterness. Aftertaste is bitter with a burnt edge. Lingers for a while. Finish is dry.
Quite on the malty side for an Indian Pale Ale - but not without a little bitterness in the aftertaste.
In der Nase schön fruchtiger Papaya Duft, vielleicht noch etwas nach Zuckerwatte. Antrunk prickelnd herb, starke Brotnote. Leichte Bitterkeit, aber hauptsächlich eher herb statt bitter. Zum Ende hin setzen sich noch Röstaromen durch. Wärmend vollmundig. Das Fruchtaroma vom Duft finde ich aber nur sehr dezent mit Fantasie im Geschmack wieder. Aber gaaaanz hinten ist es doch vorhanden 😉
Malty Alé rather than ipa
Klassisches IPA, leicht vollmundig, wenig Zitrusnote
Aroma of intense parfumed flowers
Slight hazy light amber colour with short lasting head
Taste of jasmine and flowers, with bitter hops
Medium carbonation with oily mouthfeel
Amber colour with white head. Smell of flowers. Taste of hops and jasmine, nice bitterness.
Geruch: nur dezent nach Hopfen
Schaum: nur kurzweilig
Farbe: Bernstein
Geschmack: erst etwas karamellig
Und anschließend tropische Früchte. Abgang Bitter und recht lang.
Lichtbruin bier met weinig schuim. Smaak is bitter hoppig en licht zoet met iets van dennennaalden, hars en wat zwarte thee. Goed bier.
Decent beer
Many thanks for this beer to my uncle from Essen. A wiec piwo z Berlina przywiezione z Essen, chmiel z Hallertau Region, slod z Frankonii, a woda ze wspomnianego Berlina. namieszane ale to wszystko laczy sie w jedno, a mianowicie skladniki, wszystkie z niemiec, wszystkie 4 zastosowane odmiany sa niemieckie, wiec German Ipa jest poprawana politycznie jak i w smaku. barwa dosc ciemna jak na IPA, bursztynowa z refleksem jasnej czerwieni, piana spora, lacking jest, trwala, smak mocno goryczkowy, tak jak potrzeba i reflektuja moje kubki chmielowe, slodowosc i karmelowosc nawet jest, ale to co zostaje w pamieci to mega bomba chmielowa, szyszki chyba wielkosci arbuza, no i 50 IBU wiec spory poziom goryczy. kto nie skosztuje ten nie zrozumie.
Bottle 33 cl. Pours an almost clear amber with a small, lacing off-white head. Nose is caramellish with a slight hint of perfumy hops. Medium body, dry caramel notes, slightly biscuity with a bitter finish. IPA's like they were 10-15 years ago seems to be the norm for how the Germans make them. 200820
Hazy amber with an off-white head. Hoppy aroma. Taste is sweet hops with a decent bitterness.
0,33l Flasche. Leuchtendes Orange. Harziger Pinienduft. Im Geschmack viel Pinie, Harz und Blumen. Lecker.
0,33 l Flasche. Oranges, trübes Bier, cremeweißer Schaum, schöne Gardine. Riecht nach Getreide und Hopfen, schmeckt dann intensiv getreidig, nussig, schön bitter.
Optycznie spoko, piana dosyć trwała, w typie kozuch, z drobnych pęcherzy, szyła na szkle, do tego barwa ciemno pomarańczowa, trunek mętny. Aromat sporo cytrusów, toffi, słodu, lasu. Smak jest goryczka, ale nie mocno intensywna, sporo słodowych akcentów, iglaki, żywica. Ogólnie to raczej średnio, ale może to te rodzime chmiele nie dociągają do tematu.
Vraiment bonne cette IPA. ça change (pour BRLO)... On ressent bien les houblons allemands. Bu pendant le confinement avec François à Villemandeur
Bonne, mais tape trop ! (goût et amertume)
Bottle. Hazy, dark amber color, fine white head. Fruity, resinous aroma. Medium sweet taste, high bitterness. Lingering bitter, pineapple, fruity aftertaste. Low carbonation,
Beer with yellow color, fuzzy aspect, too much bitterness, soft carbonized, good volume of foam on top, (shared a 33cl bottle beer with PG, bought at "Kaufland", Neckarsulm, DE #1111)(#171 DE)(#4 Berlin).
