Veluwse Schavuyt India Pale Ale from Apeldoornse Bierbrouwerij De Vlijt in Apeldoorn proves that an IPA need not be aggressively bitter. This craft brewery produces using high fermentation without filtration or pasteurisation, preserving the full character of its ingredients.

The aroma is refined: pale malt and grain combine with citrus, peach and grapefruit notes from American hops. On the palate, the beer is soft and balanced, with moderate bitterness and floral undertones. The medium body makes this an approachable IPA for those who value subtlety over hop intensity.

At 6.5% ABV, this is a measured, unpretentious IPA from the Veluwe region.
