Making its annual migration to New England, Big Bird draws inspiration from our “Small Birds” by utilizing specialty grains and unique hop varieties, Big Bird has an amped profile worthy of a larger fowl. Pouring a noticeably cloudy yellow, this intensely aromatic Double IPA conjures up a tropical fruit cocktail nose of fresh pressed orange and ripe pineapple with a garnish of lemon and light spruce tip spice.
Strong citrus flavors of key lime pie, mandarin orange, and tangy grapefruit pith lead into a creamy profile of kiwi flesh, cantaloupe, and honeydew melon with papaya. Medium bodied, Big Bird’s tropical sweetness on the front of the palate is balanced out on the finish by a soft herbal bitterness. We welcome this bird back to the nest!
STYLE: Double IPA
ABV: 8.5%
HOPS: ???
MALT: American 2-Row Barley, White Wheat, Dextrine, Flaked Wheat, Valley Danko Rye, Valley Triticale, Malted Oats, Dextrose

Can from Vinspecialisten, Randers. Nice head with good duration. Color is hazy golden. Aroma and taste are rich bitter hops, tropical fruits, flowers, malt and has a nice long bitter floral finish. Lovely.

16 oz. can, pours an opaque golden yellow with a medium head. Nose is full of tropical fruits, melon, some dank hops, grapefruit, and a touch of hops. Flavour is very juicy, with lots of tropical fruits, juicy stone fruits, and some citrus bitterness. Very juicy, basically no hopburn. OK, if all hazies were like this, I could get on board.

Blik via Keukeman, geprobeerd met SandervdL en LiekevdV. Het is een troebel geel bier met een wit schuim. Hey heeft een fruitige geur met tonen van mango en ananas. De smaak is vol fruitig, mango, ananas, citrus, hoppig en bitter in de afdronk.
