DALVA Double Hoppy Beer IPA by Brasserie Thiriez 75 cl

Description

Brasserie Thiriez DALVA – A Full-Bodied Double IPA

DALVA is one of the characterful beers produced by Brasserie Thiriez in Esquelbecq, in the Nord department of northern France. This 75 cl Double IPA contains 8.5% alcohol and offers a powerful profile built around generous hopping, a golden appearance and a robust body. It is particularly suited to enthusiasts who appreciate beers with a pronounced hop presence and a lasting, fruity bitterness.

American hops define much of DALVA’s aromatic character. They contribute a lively fruitiness and a firm bitterness, while the malt base provides structure and a rounded mouthfeel. This combination helps the beer maintain a sense of richness alongside its hop intensity. Rather than being defined by bitterness alone, DALVA offers a fuller tasting experience, with both malt and hops contributing to its character.

The Double IPA style takes the familiar qualities of an India Pale Ale further, generally combining higher alcohol, stronger hopping and a substantial malt backbone. These elements create a beer with intensity, depth and a lasting finish. DALVA follows this approach with a generous body and an assertive aromatic profile.

Brasserie Thiriez has built its identity in the French Flanders brewing tradition while also exploring contemporary craft beer styles. DALVA is a good example of this balance, bringing an internationally recognised hop-forward style into the brewery’s range of distinctive beers.

For food pairings, try DALVA with grilled beef, burgers, barbecue ribs, spicy curries or mature cheeses. Smoky dishes and richly seasoned food can also work well with its robust character. Serve it moderately chilled to preserve the expression of its aromas.

With its 8.5% ABV and generous 75 cl format, DALVA is a beer to savour rather than drink quickly. It is a rewarding option for sharing at the table or discovering with friends who enjoy powerful, aromatic craft beers.
