When you come across a triple IPA you expect a few things. Aggressive bitterness, lots of alcohol and giant hop aroma. Big Hoppa delivers on the bitterness which comes out fighting but not over the top. The alcohol is there but not over powering. There is a very nice pine//tropical fruit aroma to this. It’s not what I would have expected. Overall this is a very nice IPA that I would definitely drink again.
From the Martin House website:
Big Hoppa is a hop lover’s dream. And a malt lover’s dream. Maybe it’s just a dream. This big, boozy Triple IPA clocks in at 12% abv and 93 ibus. Massive additions of Columbus, Citra, Simcoe, Mosaic, Equinox, and Falconer’s Flight hops pair with two row and Munich malts to create this beautiful IPA.
