The Moersleutel 10 Years Ignition is a New England IPA with 6% ABV from the Moersleutel Craft Brewery in Alkmaar and the kickoff of the ten-part anniversary series celebrating the brewery's tenth anniversary, ranging from Hazy IPAs and Pastry Stouts to a Rye Wine and barrel-aged blends. The series is inspired by space travel, and Ignition stands as number one for the moment the engines ignite and the journey begins. The beer is brewed with the hop varieties Citra, Nelson Sauvin, and Sabro: Citra brings vibrant notes of grapefruit and lime, Nelson Sauvin contributes grape-like, slightly winey accents, and Sabro adds a soft tropical note with a hint of coconut. In the glass, the beer appears hazy and golden yellow, with a very fruity aroma of tropical fruits and citrus, a juicy, full body, mild bitterness, and an extremely smooth, fresh finish with a touch of vanilla. Served at about 7 to 10 °C in a tulip or IPA glass, the aromas unfold best. Bottled in a 44 cl can, the beer contains gluten-containing grains.
