Tyr

Tap to rate

Tyr is a top-fermented, dry-hopped strong IPA named after the Norse god of war. Large amounts of barley malt give a sweetish, smooth body, which an equally generous hop charge balances. The dry hopping sets the tone: forceful and fresh, fruity-floral, with woodland and mint notes alongside. It reaches 8.7% ABV from an original gravity of 20.2° Plato.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by a forceful dry-hop character delivering pronounced citrus and stone fruit notes layered with floral herbaceousness. Beneath the hop intensity, subtle woodland and mint impressions emerge, while the substantial barley malt foundation provides a soft, sweetish undertone that balances the volatile aromatics.

◐ Taste

Entry reveals a smooth, full-bodied malt backbone with evident sweetness from the generous grain bill, immediately confronted by a significant hop bitterness that builds steadily across the palate. Mid-palate shows layered fruity-floral notes with continuing herbal and minty dimensions, while the 80 IBUs assert themselves with a dry, gripping character that never overwhelms the underlying malt structure.

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.
