On its newest collaboration beer, Brewery Ommegang had stored it within the Duvel Moortgat household of manufacturers because the Cooperstown, New York brewer has partnered with two worldwide breweries. Becoming a member of Brewery Ommegang on the brand new Passport Royale Combined Tradition IPA are Belgium’s iconic Liefmans and gold medal-winning Italian Birrificio del Ducato.
The method of brewing Passport Royale Combined Tradition IPA started as a dialog over a beer at Liefmans and developed right into a thought-provoking recipe alternate with Ducato, culminating in a secret Blenderie venture at Ommegang. Liefmans, one of many foremost bitter beer brewers on the earth, contributed a Pale Bitter and a Blueberry Beer to the venture. Ommegang then artfully blended the beer with Ducato’s complicated, hop-forward Machete Double IPA. This resulted in what is claimed to be a harmonious and deeply layered Bitter IPA Mix at 7.5% ABV that includes 45% Machete, 50% Pale Bitter and 5% Blueberry Beer.
“Passport Royale is a testomony to what can occur when brewers from completely different traditions work collectively,” stated Jordan Egbert, model supervisor of imports at Brewery Ommegang, in an announcement. “This beer showcases one of the best of Liefmans’ bitter experience, Ducato’s hop-forward method and Ommegang’s personal mixing artistry. We’re extraordinarily pleased with the tip product, as Passport Royale actually represents a best-in-class providing in revolutionary worldwide brewing.”
Passport Royale’s aromas boast vibrant notes of tart blueberries, citrus zest and a touch of floral hops. The flavour profile is as complicated as might be imagined from three distinct brewing profiles in a single: Pilsner, Pale and Wheat malts provide a clear and crisp basis, dry-hopped with Citra and Mosaic for juicy tropical and citrus notes. Spices like coriander and orange peel provide a refined Belgian twist. The brewers advocate pairing Passport Royale with fragrant cheeses like blue cheese, goat cheese and gouda, grilled salmon with a citrus glaze, or summer season berry desserts.
Passport Royale is now obtainable in 16-oz 4-packs and is proscribed availability via the tip of July. Availability might be discovered via Ommegang’s beer finder right here.
