About

IPAPotamus from Batteliek is an unconventional wheat beer-IPA hybrid brewed in a former church in Mechelen that now houses a microbrewery, microdistillery and lemonade factory. This experimental beer merges the bright, fruity character of a witbier with the hop-forward approach of an IPA. The wheat malt provides a soft foundation and subtle sweetness, while hop additions introduce citrus and pine aromatics. At 6.5% ABV, it strikes an accessible balance between two distinct styles. Batteliek is known for inventive brewing choices, and IPAPotamus reflects their willingness to challenge convention. The result is a beer that captures both the delicate fruit-forward elegance of wheat beer and the aromatic boldness of an IPA.
