Beer Description

To make this Triple IPA, we used several different hop varieties like Nelson, Simcoe, Citra, and Amarillo to build a rich hop profile, before double-dry hopping the beer during its fermentation.

A triple IPA! With this collaboration brew between Iain McOustra and Mike Lackey, the pair tried to make an extremely hoppy beer that was also clean and focused. To make this Triple IPA, we used several different hop varieties like Nelson, Simcoe, Citra, and Amarillo to build a rich hop profile, before double-dry hopping the beer during its fermentation. An extremely limited beer, this was McOustra and Lackey’s first attempt at doing a Triple IPA together, and it’s something they hope to continue brewing and fine-tuning over the years. The first batch of Life Sentence IIIPA has a concentrated citrus and resiny hop aroma, with flavours of resiny orange and peach, concentrated citrus, essence of grapefruit and a huge pine background that plays off the more aggressive Nelson Hops, with a note of Amarillo that quenches the bitterness of all the other rich and almost overloaded citrus flavours.
