Forget the ABV, which is just a by-product of the passion. It was James & Josh from the Queen’s Arms, Corton Denham, and Justin Hawke, founder and head brewer here at Moor (hence the JJJ) whose shared enthusiasm for great beers and 9 years ago now were lamenting the lack of true IPAs in the UK. So they decided to brew their own version of heaven. Double IPA was just not enough - it needed to be a triple IPA. Triple the gravity, triple the colour, and more than triple the hops. With over a tonne of malt and 65kgs of hops this beer is big in every sense. In fact, it was so big and hoppy the first time round that it broke our pump! This beer is a real blend of British and American brewing styles. Unlike many Imperial IPA’s being brewed today this is made with 100% malt, adding a depth of flavour beyond the hop character. Deep copper in colour, over the top in aroma and flavour, but somehow still remaining (somewhat) balanced, this beer is not for the faint of heart.

On tap at Zagreb Craft Beer Week, 2017. Murky orange, lasting off-white head. Very fruity, citrusy, orange and some alcohol. Creamy, strong and bitter. Medium body, dry, throat-twisting finish. Nice one!

Old-school TrIPA. Big malt bill supports the hardcore hoppyness nicely. Well balanced. Hoppy, bitter, resiny and rich. Thick mouthfeel, boozy, a slow sipper. Very nice beer.

At a tasting, small bubbly head, murky deepish orange color, aroma of apricot, onion and citrus, sweet and boozy fruit and onion flavor, alcohol coming through strongly, making this not too pleasant.

On tap at Craft Room Zagreb. Golden coloured, small white head, hops and light caramel in the nose. Sweet malty, caramel, light tropical fruits and herbal hops with touch of honey and alcohol. Bitter finish. Probably not so fresh.

Keg @ Vocation & Co, Hebden Bridge. Hazed amber-orange with a small head. It has mildly tangy orange citrus flavours, with its strength more evident in its nose than taste.
