Aggressive, yet majestic. Fluffy, but not without a bite. Bigger than big. Really Big Bird is the largest and most hop-saturated addition to our Small Bird Series to-date. We took Big Bird, one of the hoppiest beers in our portfolio, and dosed it with an even more ridiculous dry-hopping rate, resulting in a beer that is unapologetic in its approach.

Presenting a densely hazy deep straw yellow, Really Big Bird wastes no time in offering its bouquet of fruit-forward aromatics. Beginning on the citrus side of the spectrum, we're first greeted with pungent notes of pithy orange, candied grapefruit, and lemon cello. As the glass warms, a tropical character presents itself in the form of a pineapple and papaya smoothie. Earthy undertones, centered around a piney bitterness create a wonderful balance atop a creamy, full-bodied mouthfeel. We're going to need a bigger nest!

STYLE: Double IPA

16 ounce can from Libby’s Liquors. Hazy yellow gold color. Massive creamy white head. Aromas of dank citrus and apricot. First sip is sweet and juicy. Hints of orange, grapefruit, lemon and mango. Plenty of hops here. As the brew warms, the dank, stickiness comes out. Lots of grapefruit pith and pine on backend. Somewhat smooth for 9% ABV.

Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were ripe fruits, mango, tangerine, citrus fruits, floralness and bitterness. Aftertaste was fruity, juicy and bitter. Delicious.

Burk i skuggan på Enghave plads. Efter 6 omsorgsfullt provade Dipor behöver jag en paus med en bira. Denna Ölen då? Jo här har vi lite lakrits och passion samt en blandning av tropiska grejer . Ja denna är en lite tyngre dovare frukt dipa än majoriteten Dipor. Så mye god 😋. Kanske den bästa idag😱Jag fattar varför den har 99/99 på ratebeer.
