After one week of abstinence and missing out on drinking beer and participating in the weekly contest, here I am again.
For this week's #BeerSaturday contest, I had no dilemma about which beer to write about.
In a previous post, I asked beer lovers from the #Beer community to help me with the order of consumption of four different styles.
I also asked them to suggest which of the three offered (remaining) they would like to see a post about.
And our beer drinking friend @josiva chose for me in his comment.
RED IPA
Craft beer from the Robocraft brewery.
Hacker, Red Indian Pale Ale beer.
It is a dark Ale beer with 6.5% alcohol, cloudy, unfiltered and unpasteurized.
The ingredients of this beer are: water, barley malt, hops and yeast, and the beer is free of artificial colors, flavors and additives.
As its name suggests, the label on the can represents a Hacker, an awkward character with a square hood in our computer and crypto world.
But he is not here to harm us beer lovers.
A hacker is a programmer whose goal is to break the formula of every industrial beer and insert his code in order to obtain a recipe for real craft beer that will be made by robots of the new generation.
That was the idea of the founders of the Robocraft brewery: "Robots are coming, join the Robolution".
Get out of the world of industrial beers and drink something beautiful, tasty and made from natural ingredients.
I took advantage of a nice warm day, the first day of my summer vacation, and drank this RED IPA beer outside.
The beer was frothy at the opening.
After pouring, the beer has a nice smell and a brown color, it doesn't look red at all 🙂
Maybe the best description of the color is: between brown and orange...
It has the aroma of hops and malted barley, but in the pleasant aroma you can also feel some fruity notes. Like some berries, blueberries, currants.
There is a lot of foam when pouring, but it is not thick and falls quickly.
You can hear the rustling in the glass, so it seems that the carbonation is stronger.
At the first sip, you can feel more carbonation and a little less bitterness, 53 IBU.
While drinking. the carbonation disappears and this beer has a very pleasant taste.
In the mouth, you can feel the haze and the note of barley. But not the sweetness from the barley malt.
The beer is otherwise quite drinkable, which also contributes to the weakening of the carbonation after pouring.
I'm still looking for beer glasses, and the dilemma about the choice for the next post has now fallen on the two remaining beers in my fridge.
If none of you come forward with a proposal for the next post, I will post about DIPA.
