🌍 United States · Triple IPA · One of 11 Triple IPAs in hopIQ

Triple Grid is a Triple IPA from Hop Butcher For The World, Chicago's celebrated hop-forward craft outfit. It pours a hazy, deep golden amber with a soft, pillowy white head. The aroma bursts with layers of tropical fruit — ripe mango, passionfruit, and citrus zest — underscored by a resinous, dank pine character that signals serious hop ambition. On the palate, the beer is full-bodied and lusciously smooth, delivering waves of juicy hop flavor balanced by a firm but not aggressive bitterness. A subtle sweetness from the substantial malt backbone keeps things grounded. The finish is long, warming, and resinous, with lingering tropical fruit notes that invite another sip. A powerhouse IPA executed with Chicago precision.

Very dry and assertively bitter.

A trim base, a hop-led finish — the classic setup for a hop-forward beer.
