Herevana – Bach Brewing – Wandering IPL
Bach Brewing Wandering IPL – An IPL, there are never enough IPL beers. Over hopped lagers, ideal.
Bach Brewing Ltd make the Bach Brewing Wandering IPL- in Auckland, 🇳🇿 New Zealand, and it is in the style that is best as Pale Lager – Hoppy / India (IPL) with an ABV of 6.0% and 25 IBU.
This jumped to the front of all the others beers in the fridge, I only picked it up a few hours ago.
It does in truth smell more like a pale ale than a lager when you open it.
Glorious golden pour of a beer with a fluffy white head, it looks the part.
It is indeed quite hoppy. And it is quite crisp too. Too often you use the word ‘refreshing’ but this is a bit of that, the clean drinking sparkles across the palette, but gives up a large amount of tasty as it does so. The grassy hops in this are bold but not assertive and they accompany a lovely fullness.
It rather nice, unusual to have, and really enjoyable to have.
The Pdubyah-o-meter rates this as a pass on the arbitrary number scale. This is like the best of both worlds. You get a lovely and generous hop flavour with a lovely crisp clean carry and a lovely finish. A really enjoyable beer that I drank rather quickly .

Herevana beers are those I drink at home, I’m not at some beer festival, like, for instance, Beervana, but am just in my kitchen, usually, dining room table, sometimes, or outside, occasionally, where I can take an average picture and write in real time about the beer that I’ve invested in, both in a monetary and emotional way.

We’ve been on the hops again … pontificating the opportunity to couple the clean crisp refreshment of a lager style beer, with the big bold hops of an IPA.
Brewers Notes
Brewed with a bottom fermented yeast and loaded with juicy hops; Mosaic, Citra, Nectaron, Motueka, Idaho 7, and with an extended conditioning. It’s an India Pale Lager.
