They say some of the best inventions were created by mistake. That was certainly the case with Hardywood Belgian DIPA. Originally intended as the base beer for Hoplar, our wood aged American-style double IPA, this beer was fermented with the Belgian abbey-style ale yeast we use with Hardywood Singel. The resulting beer offers the assertive hoppy bitterness of Hoplar with the fruity, spicy character of Singel. An accident, yes, but a delicious one, indeed!

12oz glass at the Capitol Alehouse Innsbrooks. Pours a hazy orange with one ring of white head. Nose is more Belgian than IPA, and hardly any DIPA aromas; some spice, some orange, a little pepper. Flavor is the same, malty, candy sugar, orange. Medium bodied finish. Missed the mark for me.

Served on draft at the brewery. Pours a copper color with a medium sized creamy off-white head. Good head retention. Aroma of big spicy, peppery, herbal hops with caramel malts. The taste is bitter herbal and citrus hops, berries and caramel malts. Medium bodied and well balanced. Very nice.

Poured draft at brewery and also in 750 corked bottle. Poured a nice hazy golden yellow-orange color with a nice fluffy white head.

Aroma is nice citrus hops with a good malty balance and a nice Belgian yeast character to it.

Crisp and refreshing, but it does pack a bit of a wallop in terms of the alcohol as it is highly drinkable.
