Heavy Cross – Tripel IPA, 10% – 33cl
Smaak
Heavy Cross is een Tripel IPA en extra zwaar gehopt. Ontdek zachte meloenaroma’s afkomstig van de Hüll Melon-hop. De hopsoort Hallertau Blanc zorgt voor een fruitige smaak met tonen van witte druiven en zacht fruit. In combinatie met de Citra en Amarillo-hop zorgt dit voor een frisse explosie van zomers fruit.
Naam
Heavy Cross is een zwaar (heavy) gehopte IPA. De naam verwijst naar de hit ‘Heavy Cross’ van Gossip. “It’s a cruel, cruel world to face on your own. A heavy cross to carry along.” Dus drink dit bier in goed gezelschap. Bovendien verwijst Heavy Cross naar de bijbel: ‘Jesus carries the heavy cross‘ en daarmee naar de thuisbasis van Jopenbier: de Jopenkerk Haarlem.

Bottle at home, courtesy of markoijelena. Nose is floral and fruity hops, light honey, booze and faint vineous notes. Taste is sweet upfront, honey appears first then it shows floral hops, citrus zest, marmalade and hints of fruits with an underlying, mellow bitternes that becomes more firm in the finish. It closes with a warming, bittersweet finish, has a huge body and soft carbonation. Big beer, a true sipper. Thanks for sharing, Marko!

Bottle from Stanislaus Brewskovitch, Zwolle. Aroma is fruity hops, juicy tropical fruits, citrus, grapefruit, orange, pale malt, with a touch of pine resin and light alcohol. Flavour is moderate to medium sweet and medium bitter. Body is medium. Heavy but not that boozy, dangerously drinkable. Nice rich juicy fruits. An unexpected killer IIPA from Jopen.

Draft at the Jopenkerk. Poured a hazy yellow golden colour with a thin broken white head and some clingy lace. The aroma is grainy malt, grassy, resin. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a smooth, grassy, light dank, citrus, boozy hop bitter palate. Over medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.

Bottle, small bubbly head, hazy deep orange colour, grain, honey, alcohol, a bit of orange marmalade and some grapefruit bitterness.Surprisingly drinkable for its traits but not really interesting, this is a useless style.
