COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask: Occasional.
Also available bottled at 9.5% abv.
This is one big beer. Forget the ABV, which is just a by-product of the passion. James and Josh from the Queen’s Arms, Corton Denham, and I (hence JJJ) have a shared passion for great beers and were lamenting the lack of true IPAs in the UK. So we decided to brew our own version of heaven. Double IPA was just not good enough - we needed a triple IPA. Triple the gravity, triple the colour, and more than triple the hops. With nearly 700 kg of malt and over 11.5 kg of hops this beer is big in every sense. In fact, it was so big and hoppy that it broke our pump! Deep copper in colour, over the top in aroma and flavour, but somehow still remaining (somewhat) balanced, this beer is not for the faint of heart. And if you don’t like hops, don’t even think about it. But if you do, dare we say this may be the best beer you’ll ever taste. We like it so much that upon racking we decided to make it a permanent part of the range.

kappldav123 (3857) - Nordhausen, GERMANY - SEP 17, 2009
LCRBM 2009. The bottle looks simple but good. The beer in the glass light brown, modest turbid, small head. Modest fruity aroma. Starts weak but shows then very nice and intense hoppy notes, strong, fresh and flowery. Well balanced, modest dry finish. A very good beer!

Ungstrup (26475) - Citizen of the universe, DENMARK - SEP 8, 2009
Draft. An unclear amber beer with a thin lazing orangey head. The aroma has strong notes of flowery hops as well as notes of sweet malt, alcohol, and fruit - leaning on being over ripe. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of over ripe fruits, hops, fresh peaches, and fresh grapefruits, leading to a very bitter finish. More like a BW in my book.

Draught at Ørsted Ølbar. Clear dark red/brown - offwhite head. High sweetness, raisins, sourish, light hoppy, grapefruity, grass, syrup, berries, rubber, dark bread. Far too sweet.
