About

Hopfenstopfer Comet IPA from Häffner Bräu in Bad Rappenau is an American-style IPA built on a triple-hop philosophy. At 6.8% ABV and 55 IBUs, this unfiltered, light amber beer delivers bold hop character without excess weight. The nose shows fruity, honey-tinged aromas. On the palate, honeydew melon and grapefruit emerge briefly before Comet, Saphir and Taurus hops take command, bringing resinous, tangy depth with hints of pine and grass. The beer balances these assertive notes with a subtle caramel malt foundation. The finish is semi-dry and lingers pleasantly—a clean hop bitterness that fades without harshness. Despite its hop-forward profile, the beer remains approachable and dangerously easy to drink.
