Zywiec IPA (50cl, 5%)

Zywiec IPA is a cold-hopped, unfiltered European-style IPA from Żywiec Brewery in Żywiec, Poland. Founded in 1856 and now majority-owned by Heineken Group, the brewery incorporates wheat malt alongside barley malts and cold-hops with American hop varieties, leaving the characteristic haze intact. The aroma opens with biscuity malt sweetness, then floral, grassy and gently herbal hop notes, with faint citrus and tropical fruit. The palate has biscuity wheat and barley malt, floral and grassy hop bitterness, grapefruit and hints of exotic fruit, with light to medium bitterness and a smooth mouthfeel. The finish is moderate, with grassy, citrusy hop bitterness and subtle biscuit-malt dryness.
