This is the biggest IPA we've done to date! We used our DIPA malt base but boosted it to achieve an incredibly high gravity, supplemented with brewing sugar. Fermented with our house yeast it was able to hit a whopping 13% ABV! We split our dry hop into two to try and maximise our extraction & boost the ripe mango, peach & mandarin flavours. We mashed high to give this an unctuous body with waves of punchy flavour.

Hops: Citra BBC, Galaxy, Mosaic Cryo & Strata

Canned, 440 ml at Miro b's Grande tasting. Shared with him, Max and JFK10000. Hazy yellow, medium white head. Tropical fruit in aroma and taste. Dank, mango, tad sweet, lasting bitter finish. Bit warming. Medium to full bodied.

440ml can. Murky golden, white head. Aroma of passionfruit, weedy, pine. Taste is intensely hoppy, passionfruit, mango, pine, very dank finish, strong and boozy but there's actually more hop burn than alcohol burn which is quite something considering this is 13%. Thick full body. Great QIPA other than the hop burn. Still not convinced they're really necessary though, TIPAs fill this need already.

Can. Hazy yellowish gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Thin malts, a light creamy sweetness. Soft pine. Soft and dry spicy citrus. Reasonably bright. A little peel. Touch of soft and fairly ripe mango. Smooth piney citric spicy finish. There is nothing out the ordinary here. A solid dipa. But then, you realise this is 13% feckin percentiles! Wow! Had plenty of dipas, TIPAs, qipas, whatever you want to call them (top tip - Don't look to Ratebeer for the vaguest clue) but they all showed that abv, this one doesn't. A standard taste profile dipa with a hefty abv. Curious, but impressive and as a consequence, way to drinkable.
