PYRITE IPA L'Or des Fous Blonde Beer 75, Lilloise Brewery

Description

PYRITE IPA 75 cl – The hoppy beer from Brasserie Lilloise

With PYRITE IPA, Brasserie Lilloise presents a French craft beer that puts hops centre stage whilst striving for precision and balance. This 6.5% ABV blonde IPA, bottled in 75 cl bottles, has a bitterness of 20 IBU. Its profile is described as refined, dry and well-hopped, with a particularly appealing aroma of flowers, tropical fruits and sweet citrus.

Tasting reveals an expressive yet approachable beer. The tropical notes add a fruity dimension, whilst the citrus notes enhance the sensation of freshness. The floral nuances round the flavour profile off and give this IPA a lovely aromatic complexity. The bitterness provides structure to the tasting experience without overpowering the other flavours.

This PYRITE IPA is also a fine example of the work carried out by Brasserie Lilloise, based in Roncq, in the Lille metropolitan area. The brewery pays particular attention to the quality of its raw materials and uses, in particular, hops from Boeschepe as well as barley and wheat from the Nord region in its brews.

Another selling point for craft beer enthusiasts: the PYRITE IPA was voted France’s best IPA at the 2025 World Beer Awards, an accolade that further enhances this beer’s appeal.

Available in a 75 cl bottle, it’s particularly well-suited for sharing. Serve it chilled as an aperitif or pair it with grilled meats, burgers, mature cheeses, spicy dishes or Asian cuisine. A French IPA well worth discovering for its balance of freshness, fruit, floral notes and bitterness.
