And This Is The Unholiest Triple India Pale Ale (Never Again)

◎ Appearance

This beer presents a hazy, deep golden amber hue with excellent clarity despite its turbidity. A soft, pillowy head forms and clings to the glass with persistent lacing, indicating substantial protein and hop material in suspension. The haziness speaks to a deliberate brewing choice rather than instability.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with thunderous tropical fruit—mango and tangerine dominate—layered beneath a pronounced resinous pine character. Candied grapefruit and citrus zest add brightness, while a faint honeyed sweetness provides backbone without overwhelming the hop-forward profile. Dank herbal notes emerge on deeper inhalation, anchoring the sensory experience.

◐ Taste

The palate enters rich and oily, delivering dense layers of mango, tangerine, and candied grapefruit across the mid-palate. A firm bitterness—measured rather than abrasive—keeps the sweetness grounded and prevents cloying. The full body supports the complexity without feeling heavy, and the malt structure provides subtle honeyed warmth underneath the aggressive hop character.

◑ Finish

The finish lingers long and warm, marked by dank hop resin that clings to the palate and back of the throat. A gentle malt backbone persists quietly beneath the lingering bitterness, providing closure without harshness.

Serve at 8–11°C for the best flavour balance and aroma expression.

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
