TriplIpa

Italy·Triple IPA
Tap to rate

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.

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.

◌ 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.

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.
