The bright pink crown cap on our newest beer immediately sets the tone for the taste: surprising, refreshing and deliciously tropical. The fifth member of the Bar Belge family is anything but a latecomer. Through the use of special hops, this Belgian IPA brings out exotic notes while retaining soft bitter hop accents.
Beer lovers surely will have already noticed the allusion to IPA. Yet this beer is not just another variation of a New England Indian Pale Ale. In fact, Bar Bippa brings together the best of both worlds: the typical hop flavor characteristic of classic IPAs with the aroma of tropical fruits.
In addition to the characteristic cloudiness, the specialty beer has a silky-smooth taste on the palate. Include the hoppy fruit notes and you get a beer that is perfect for culinary use. Delicious with Asian dishes, for example.
The tropical notes in this beer include passion fruit, mango and lychee. It is just that combination of hops and fruit that is so surprising to the Belgian consumer. And that is what Bar Belge always strives for: to offer a unique beer experience for connoisseurs of life.
Anyone who thinks of fruit often immediately thinks of fruit beer, which is quickly associated with something women are more likely to reach for. Yet these prejudices are unnecessary. The days when men invariably went for bitter and women invariably went for sweet are long gone.
The bright pink design was chosen because it completely fits the feeling that Bar Bippa evokes. It is a beautiful beer that will appeal to anyone who wants a little more than a conventional beer. A combination of bitter and sweet, in a cheerful bottle with a pink print. What more could you ask for?
The fourteenth edition of the beer festival organized by BAB vzw, will be held this year in the new exhibition, meeting and conference center in the heart of Bruges. More than 400 beers will be available for tasting. The fair also expects more than 80 breweries, including, of course, Bar Belge. So if you would like to taste our newest Bar Bippa, please stop by booth 13 at the fair. See you then!
