Ninkasi Tricerahops Double IPA

Brewed by Ninkasi Brewing Company
Style: Imperial/Double IPA
Eugene, Oregon USA

Bottle, kieferuga somehow snuck this into my box after our tasting, thanks! Amber pour, with a little white head. Aroma is mandarin oranges, citrus hops, and some sweet malt. Flavor is the same, both sweet and biscuity malt, lots of nice mandarin orange flavor, and some more resinous bittering hops. Pretty delicious beer.

22 ounce bottle. Pours a dense hazy copper with a resinous off white head. Rich, robust hop aroma of pine cleaner and candies grapefruit. Flavor is full of pine and citrus peal flavors. Aggressive lingering bitterness. A little bit of malt for balance. Medium body with pleasant carbonation. Balanced finish at first, but then the bitterness comes back for an encore. Really good. Sure to please most hopheads.

draft @ uber - another good one from ninkasi; clear orange with frothy white head; sticky, grassy hops; on the sweet side and only bitter at the end; strength is obvious and body on the thin side; pretty nice overall

Pint at Brouwer’s Hopfest. Perfect balance of floral and piney hops. smooth like Pliny but not as incredible. Deep amber color with touch of something like cough syrup at the end (in the best of ways!). Lovely.

Bottled from NoiZe. Cloudy orange color, short head. Flowery aroma, hoppy. Not the bitterness I expected. Very soft. Nice balance though, but again very soft.

Brought this one back from the States. Amber, orange colored brew. Very hoppy, floral aroma. Sweet, smooth well balanced hoppiness and floral notes. Nice one.

Hazy orange amber viscous pour. Small thin white head with a notice ablly modest carbonation. Modest sweet malty carmel and pine aroma. Lots of IBUs and a noticeable ABV bite. Decent hoppy flavor but not the fresh west coast bite of my favorites of the style. Full bodied and slick. Soft carbonation

Bottle: Pours a copper caramel color with light sticky head and nice lacing. The nose is very hoppy with lots of citrus and grapefruit, subtle orange and pommello. The flavor is sweet and resinous with a light enough body that it’s still in the IPA mouthfeel but ample hops in the nose and sweet dry hopped notes in the flavor. Finishes plenty hoppy and has an overall clean and resinous tail. Nice!
