Franciscan Well Chieftain IPA is a hugely popular IPA, and Franciscan Well’s answer to Ireland’s growing demand for IPA style beers. IPA’s are traditionally high hopped to deliver intense bitterness that lingers on the pallet which usually limits what you can drink or taste after it.
With Chieftain IPA, Shane wants everything an IPA has to deliver, but he wants you to be able to enjoy another beer after it. Chieftain IPA is a great stepping stone into the land of big and bitter.
IBU: 50

Kaunis punaruskea olut. Valkoinen reilu ja pysyvä vaahto päällä. Tuoksussa on karamellimallasta maukkaasti.
Maku on kevyehkö, maltainen ja humalainen.
Loppumaku on pitkä, kevyesti humalainen. Pehmeä.
Alena oikein hieno, mutta hanassa luki IPA...

Mukavan maltainen. Pihkaisuutta makua lisäämässä. Pintti upposi helposti juustotarjottimen kanssa. Perusvarma, pienellä pihkaisella twistillä.
