Salikatt Shades of Green

Overview

This Norwegian IPA from Stavanger shows how Scandinavian brewers put their own spin on the American IPA tradition. At 6.5% ABV, it hits the sweet spot: bold enough for pronounced hop character, sessionable enough for another round.

Tasting Notes

On the nose, expect a bundle of green, resinous hop notes - think pine needles and freshly cut grass. On the palate, there's a balanced bitterness that doesn't overwhelm, backed by citrus tones and a hint of tropical fruit. The mouthfeel is medium-dry, crisp, and moreish. The finish lingers with that signature hop bitterness IPA lovers crave.

Brewery

Salikatt Bryggeri is a local, family-owned craft brewery in Stavanger. Their focus is on quality and freshness rather than big volumes.

Serving
