Ninkasi Tricerahops Double IPA

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

On tap served in a snifter in PDX. The flavor from initial taste to swallow varied and I would agree with Schultsc comments on taste. "Flavor begins dry with a burst of dark hops flavors and fruit--more stonefruit--along with orange. Malt sweetness follows with some grain flavors. The body is firm but graceful and finishes with some grain flavors and a bit of alcohol warmth." It was a great beer for me on my way home from PDX I stopped by the Brewery on a Saturday and the boys at Ninkasi gave me a pint glass and set me loose towards there taps! Great bunch of guys and an awesome beer. My new favorite!

22 oz bottle. Clear tea colored with a slight, off-white head. Nose is tangerine and caramel, melon and spicy grass. Almost medium with a fine carb tingle that nicely balances the hyped hops. Taste is orange peel and sugar cookie. Bitter quinine finish. Good Double.

Clean. Crisp. Bit of malts. Not as intense as other Double IPAs, but still a solid beer all around.

From a bottle on Hendrick’s Hill--thanks Lucy and Jared. Somewhat cloudy medium orange-gold with a very thin, fine, white head. Fruity, grainy malt aromas with peachy yellow stonefruit hops notes and a slight grassiness. Flavor begins dry with a burst of dark hops flavors and fruit--more stonefruit--along with orange.

On tap @ Brass in Portland. Fantastic. It’s hazy copper with a nice glow as it comes across the bar, head not too persistent. Hoppy aromas hit you right off the bat, citrus, graprefruit juice. The beer is well balanced and just drinks awesome.

Bottle thanks to Arren. Hazy peach color with a thin white head that disipates quickly. Sweet nose with a hints of caramel and citrus. Grapefruit comes to the front immediately. Dry finish.

pours a deep orange with a red tint. large foamy white head. smells of grapefruit, orange, hops, and coriander. mild bitters with a great malt profile. i love tricerahops.

This poured an orange color with a large white head. The aroma contains perfume, orange peels, and lemons. This was not an over the top IIPA by any means. Slightly bitter with a good dose of malt presence. Some mild oranges and lemons showing in the flavor. Well balanced IPA and overall a pretty good one.
