Taribo

Hammer Beer
Italy·Double West Coast IPA
Tap to rate

A double IPA modelled on the Californian examples of the style: extremely hoppy, light copper in colour and strong at 7.5%. Dextrose joins the malts so that the beer finishes particularly dry and the hops stand out. The hopping is American throughout, with Simcoe, Citra and Amarillo, and the bitterness is given as more than 100 IBU.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with bold, resinous hop bitterness that carries through the mid-palate with layers of grapefruit zest and herbal pine. The dextrose adjunct sharpens the finish, stripping away residual sweetness and allowing the assertive bitterness—well over 100 IBU—to linger without harshness. Body is lean and structured despite the elevated alcohol.

Tulip glass

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