The Padawan

The Padawan — American Pale Ale — Bierol Brauerei

The Padawan is the flagship beer of the Austrian brewery Bierol Brauerei, based in Feldkirch (Vorarlberg, Austria). But no, its name has nothing to do with Star Wars: Padawan stands for “Pale Ale Doing Alright Without A Name”, chosen in 2014 through an online vote for a beer that had everything except a name. This American Pale Ale is a triumph of fruitiness: above all, mango dominates the nose, the palate, and the long-lasting aftertaste.

Sensory Profile

On the nose, it is a triumph of mango: fresh, ripe, intense — the hop that brings this note generously and irresistibly dominates the bouquet. On the palate, mango remains the star, with an almost creamy texture that pleasantly envelops the palate. The aftertaste is long and persistent: the mango lingers, inviting the next sip. Characterized by a deep golden color, The Padawan is much more than a summer beer — now a classic of hoppy brews, from the Austrian mountains to your home.
