“Shark Pants! – Dit bier is de gecombineerde inspanning van De Struise Brouwers en Three Floyds Brewing Co. Op 3 mei 2011 kwam Struise naar onze Brouwerij in Indiana en we creëerden een 9% abv Double Indian Pale Ale met behulp van de Struise-huisgist met enkele medium kristal mouten en een portie haver op een berekend aantal IBU’s van 260. Hetzelfde bier werd gebrouwen bij Struise wanneer de bemanning van Three Floyds eind mei 2011 naar België overkwam. Hoewel het een geweldige tijd en een eer was om met Struise te brouwen, is er een sombere noot bij dit bier.

Onze vriend en medewerker Rich Sheppard is op 11 april 2011 overleden. Dit bier is gemaakt om zijn nagedachtenis te eren en met een deel van de opbrengst die naar zijn familie gaat. Denk er altijd aan, leef een rijk leven”.

330ml bottle from the Needle & Pin, Loughborough. Amber and mostlyclwar with a ring of off-white head. Big malt aroma, Belgian yeast, candy sugar. A little candied orange peel. Sweet and strong taste with more orange peel flavours, strong boiled sweet, spicy yeast. Full body with carbonation on the heavy side.

Roodbruin bier met weinig schuim. Smaak is bitter hoppig, droog en licht fruitig zoet met iets van ananas, citrus en wat hars. Best goed.

0.33l bottle, vintage 2023. Clear amber body with an off-white head. Hoppy aroma and taste with notes of grapefruit, grapes and a tiny bit of pine. It also shows some caramel, raisins and lemon zest. The alcohol is well hidden. Smooth DIPA with a bitter finish that stays in the mouth for a while. Nice one.

hazy orange to dark amber colour, moderate sized creamy beige-ish ecru head; aroma dried apricot, pine resiny, dried pear, some grapefruity, honey and biscuity notes; bittersweet taste with the same notes as can be felt in the aroma; great one!

Bottle. Raynville. Clear deep amber. Slick and leggy lacing lasting white foam. Looks the business. Crystal malts and a shit load of old school resinous spicy hop on top. Slick and super smooth overall. Big bitterness with a lip coating malt sweetness. Punchy as you like bitterness to finish. Absolute class.

Bottle from House Of Trembling Madness. Hazy amber/ruby body with a beige head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of caramel, overripe peach and fig. Flavour of orange, pine and peach. Medium to full body with a syrupy mouthfeel. Soft fizz. This is delicious but it’s more like a barley wine than a DIPA.

Keg at Fuggles in Tunbridge Wells. Not much nose, but a real richness of flavour and mouthfeel. Like a barley wine, with a huge caressing mouthfeel and an odd sweetness on the length. Not for me.....
