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!

16 oz can, thanks ClarkVV, typical hazy cloudy bright yellow. Aroma of citrus, mango, soft grain, tropical fruit. Taste is dry and light to medium bitter with notes of citrus, mango, papaya, pineapple. Sooooo flavorful. Medium bodied with medium carbonation. Juicy and highly drinkable.

tall-boy, pasty white orange juice looking thick carb, paste-like milk shake beer. it has this intense juicy piney sweetness aroma at first. more of a bitter orange skin end. Sweet. bitterness is subdued, chill finish with a bitterness that’s hard to pinpoint. Very sweet beer overall.
