This first beer in our Patrons Project with Smugone starts as we intend to go on. This series will be all about big beers and big hops, and we intend to set the bar as high as possible with this 10% Triple IPA.
We started with a classic NE base loaded with plenty of oats and wheat, double-mashed to achieve as much fermentable sugar content as we could in the super rich, silky wort, and then hopped heavily in the whirlpool with Idaho 7 and T90 pellets, alongside Citra Cryo and Incognito for maximum saturation.
The dry hop is a truly tropical affair, with aromas of mango, pineapple and papaya alongside freshly squeezed, zesty orange juice notes from a combination of Citra, Idaho 7 and El Dorado. A touch of Cashmere brings a herbal lemon twist underneath.

Bright hazy yellow, fluffy white head. Smells hoppy, some resin, lots of citrus. Smoooth body, super creamy, light boozyness. Taste is sweet, and amazing. Huge amounts of fruityness, buckets of fresh orange juice, pineapple, mango. Awesome can art too.

25th June 2021 Tasting at Fergus gaff. Thanks to Tips. Can. Hazy orange gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, a little soft, decent fine carbonation. Soft creamy malts, very nice. Smooth piney intro to the hops. Juicy if slightly ripe citrus. Brighter citrus on the back end. Modest peel. Light and nibbly hop spice. Touch of smooth melony tropical fruits. Very good. Juicy and drinkable.
