🌍 Italy · Triple IPA · One of 15 Triple IPAs in hopIQ

A hybrid on the union of two styles — the malt bill and yeast of a Belgian Tripel with American IPA hopping on top. Golden and dry, with yeasty spice underneath bright citrus and tropical hop character. Belgian on the tongue, IPA in the aroma.

Assertively bitter and very dry.

The grain stays in the background so every note the beer offers can come from the hops.

Wider bands mean we're less certain about the exact position.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for TriplIpa

Appearance

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright transparency. A dense, creamy head forms on the pour and persists with fine lacing that clings to the glass walls. Effervescence is pronounced, with steady carbonation visible throughout.

pale goldenclearpersistent foamwell-carbonated

Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus and tropical stone fruit—grapefruit zest, tangerine, and mango—layered over a spicy, peppery undertone from the Belgian yeast. Herbal and resinous notes emerge beneath, while a subtle bready-malty backdrop provides foundation without dominating the composition.

Taste

The palate opens clean and dry with an assertive hoppy bitterness that carries citrus and herbal character into the mid-palate. Belgian yeast spiciness—clove and white pepper—weaves through the tropical fruit notes, while a delicate malt sweetness and bready complexity provide balance without softness. The finish builds a measured bitterness that remains crisp and never aggressive.

Finish

The aftertaste is medium in length, trailing citrus and herbal bitterness with a whisper of yeasty spice. A pleasant drying sensation on the tongue persists, inviting the next sip.

About Triple IPA

Style guide · what to expect · how to find alternatives

What is a Triple IPA?

IPAs are hop-forward ales with 5.5–7.5% ABV and IBU 40–70+. Bold hop aroma — citrus, tropical, resinous — with firm bitterness and a dry, clean finish.

Finding a similar Triple IPA

hopIQ matches by flavor profile — not just style label. A beer with the same hoppy, yeasty, dry character as TriplIpa will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
