Tootjainfo: "The Sabaja IPA is proud to be unique – the first of its kind in Kosovo. This beer focuses less on malt and much more on hops characteristics, while balanced by light sweetness. The beer’s bitter backbone is provided by a combination of German and Slovenian hops strains, but healthy portions of American hops provide the citrus flavor and aroma. The IPA is light gold in color, with hits of copper at its core. It features subdued fruit esters in the aroma, and a clean finish on the palate. This beer is the stronger of the two Sabaja flagship beers, with 6.3% alcohol by volume, but is nonetheless easy to enjoy, crisp and refreshing. The IPA is well suited for warm spring and summer days, and will pair well with more flavorful and heavily spiced foods – curry, grilled beef, and fried foods are a good start; however, seafood and even some desserts can also be enhanced with an IPA.
IBU 64"

Väike masajas pudelike, uskumatult kerge tänu oma õhukestele seintele, sildil hundikari, suitsetav koer ja lambatall :) Õrnalt kollaka varjundiga sõrmepaksune vahukiht on tublisti püsiv ja klaasiseintele vahurante jättev. Aroom on puuviljane ja mõrkjas, murune ja tsitruseline.

Esmamekk on tihke kehaga ja magusakas. Keskmaitse avab tasahilju oma mõrkjama poole, meenutades ülekuivatatud õunu ja heina. Lõppmaitse muutub puuviljasemaks, kuivatatud virsikute ja tumedate rosinate taoliseks. Järelmekis on sidrunikoort ja mangot, mahlast muru ja tugevalt linnasepehmust.

Tihkepoolse kehaga, mõõdukalt karboniseerunud paletiga, magusakas-mõrkjas-hapukas-vürtsika buketiga, vaoshoitud kuid meeldiv IPA ... pigem vanakooli kui uue laine esindaja. Sobilik vürtsikama guljašiga.
