Ninkasi Tricerahops Double IPA

Above average hop aroma, pine. Floral, citrus hop taste. Some maltiness usually not found to same extent in IPAs. Thin head, some lacing. A solid DIPA.

Pours a nice deep orange color with white head. Intresting aroma of spicy hops. Almost a note of orange and pine. Nice maltiness and hop presence. Clean but hoppy finish. Really nice.

Interesting IIPA. Some weird flavour compnents I’ve not had in this style before, but it all works well enough. Very fruity and resinous, with some seriously hot alcohol which hits the nose on exhalation. Sounds worse than it is though - pleasant, warming, flavourful. I’d certainly have another.

Bottle. Pours a hazy amber with a tiny off-white head. Sweet and extremely fruity. Malty hints but mostly fruity aromas of plums, pineapple and hints of plant sap. Exotic fruits. Full bodied. Medium to soft carbonation. Fruity finish.

Draft sample at IBGF Summer09. Poured dark amber color with an average frothy white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Moderate citrus hop aroma. Medium body with a slick texture and soft carbonation. Medium to heavy bitter flavor with a medium bitter finish of moderate duration. My expectations where met.

Bottle from Bottlewerks. Hazy amber pour...finger wide white head. Some hops in the nose but not a ton...not that it’s bad, but not as much hop forward as I expected. Flavor is ok...nothing to write home about. Just ok overall...not bad mind you just not great....glad it didn’t cost too much.

Butterscotch Butterscotch Butterscotch!! These guys have some serious kinks to work out. Potentially great IIPA, but lately along with every other Ninkasi pint I’ve has been seriously flawed.

Bottle (thanks guys) at Sune’s Sommerhus. Cloudy reddish - white head. Nice hoppy, resin, light wine, fruity, bitterness, pineapples, caramel, vineous, high bitterness, peppery, long lasting bitterness, light malty. Nice.
