Do you lack a hip, fancy coolship? Too short on time to prop up a swab from your weird Uncles beard? Well that’s no problem with the magic of Sacc-Trois! Our new “wild” IPA is fermented using Saccharomyces Trois and dry hopped with Idaho 7 and Citra offering huge notes of pineapple, guava and passion fruit. “Do you really think we left the windows open all night over here?”

Good foamy foam on a clear light gold body. Smells very well of sweet hops, citrus notes, pineapple. Flavour is muddled citrus, pineapple notes. Chewy mouthfeel and a bit of wet juice in there. Pretty fun and very drinkable.

Hazy and a bit of a dull blonde colour. The aroma has some light gooseberry sort of fruitiness - I'm thinking that's the Idaho 7. Smells like a fair bit of residuals, and random esters. I want to like Sacc Trois, but it's been hit and miss for me. On the palate, it's a touch funkier - a clean funk, but funk nonetheless. It almost seems dry until you realize there's a ton of residual malts, to the point where it's quite sticky. Not much bitterness at all - you can tell it's very low IBU, and I'm not sure that's appropriate for Sacc Trois as it might be for, say, Brett C. Anyway, the body is big because of all that sugar, but it creates balance issues, and gets in the way of the Idaho 7 and Citra, both of which you notice but seem sort of muted here. Could certainly be better - feels like the brewery is experimenting with this yeast as the fermentation is the biggest issue. Might sound petty but it feels like I'm paying for someone to learn on the job.

473ml can. Pours a hazy gold with a medium, foamy, long lasting, white head that leaves plenty of lacing. Mild aroma of pale malt, pineapple, guava, grapefruit and funky yeast. Sweet fruity flavour of grainy pale malt, pineapple, guava, passion fruit and grapefruit in a dry, slightly funky yeast finish. Medium body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. Pleasant and easy to put back.
