Dry and assertively bitter.

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

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Triple Point IPA

Appearance

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright, lively carbonation. A thick, persistent white head forms quickly and maintains good lacing down the glass, signaling stable foam stability and fresh conditioning.

pale goldenclearpersistent foamfine carbonation

Aroma

The nose is dominated by tropical fruit esters—mango, pineapple, and passionfruit—delivered by the noble American hop varieties. Beneath the fruit sits a clean, subtle malt backbone with minimal yeast character, allowing the hop profile to shine with distinctive citrus and orange zest notes.

Taste

The palate opens with bright, forward hop bitterness balanced by a lean malt sweetness that prevents harshness. Mid-palate delivers layered tropical and citrus fruit character with a crisp, dry texture; the 60 IBU sits comfortably in the moderate range, creating structure without overpower. Finish is clean and refreshing, with lingering hoppy dryness.
