Doan’s Brewery – Ariana German IPA Review
Brewed using Ariana Hops this German Styled IPA is Doan’s experimental hop series of IPAs. From the bomber bottle this beer is a crisp, golden colour and has a finger and a half of lightly lacing head. The aroma is of earthy pine bitterness that is iconic of a euro-style hop. The malt character adds a light breadiness to the aroma with a mellow back-sweetness. The flavour too is iconically Euro with a slight twist. The Ariana hop is front and centre with a mellow pine character along side the earthy bitternss that came on the nose. There is also a touch of grapefruit and vanilla smoothness that comes through with mellow sweetness. The Ariana hop gives this beer a classic flavour but with an added twist that is quite flavourful and enjoyable.
