Simtra Triple IPA
Knee Deep Brewing Company

Just a fantastic hop bomb. My can was a little older than I would like, and when it warms up you really get that alcohal taste to come out. That being said, it always blows my mind how all of that hop flavor just sticks to the middle of your tongue rather than the back like with so many other imperials. If you can find it give it a try, it's a time capsule type of beer from a time in the past. I can't see local breweries by me like Hop Butcher for the World even attempting to make something like this.

 

 

 

Not just a great TRIPA, it's a great IPA, period. Scary how well the booziness is hidden. Just a wonderfully we'll balanced brew that I'll be consuming again, and again, and... Highly recommend this masterpiece. Cheers!

 

Appearance: Pours a deep, rich, golden color with medium carbonation. A sticky white foam-head.

Aroma: A very sweet, fruity aroma. Pineapple and citric fruit, like orange and maybe slight mango.

Taste: A good balance of sweet up front followed by an immediate and pleasant punch of bitterness. Citrus peel, alcohol, and some tropical fruit in the back. Some malty notes after it settles. The finish sticks around for a while. About half way through, I notice some

Overall: Wow. This is an amazing IPA. I fell in love with the aroma and the flavors are superb. Even though it’s strong, it’s dangerously drinkable for me.

Knee Deep Brewing has solved the riddle of the perfect Triple IPA with Simtra!
This is an Exhibition in Extreme. It has too much of everything - in a very well balanced, 11.25% ABV, Big, Juicy, Piney Hoppy, superbly crafted, 19.2 ounce Tall Boy that’s bitter as an ex-wife.
It just packs a wallop all the way around.
Although it travelled from Auburn, CA to SW Florida, it is totally Fresh.
Best TIPA I think I ever had, the empty is sitting top of the fridge as Top IPA of 2022, easily.
Very nicely done!

5’s across the board for me for this AMAZINGLY delicious triple IPA! What’s wild is—I went to BevMo looking for some fresh Super Cluster from Lagunitas, but the packs they had weren’t fresh anymore, so I came across some tall cans of Simtra in the same isle at BevMo and decided to try one…the fact that it was a triple IPA at 11.25% ABV…I figured I’d try at least try one can. Turns out, lo and behold—this brew actually tastes exactly like Lagunitas’ Super Cluster, except even better and even stronger!! How did I get so blessed to find such a find?! Pours a beautiful golden, deep honey color…smell follows the nose…LOADS of delicious citra hits your nose and that exactly what you taste….not sure if I’m actually smelling/tasting the simcoe as well, as the delicious citra hops steal the show for me. Mouthfeel is so yummy and chewy…and the ABV is perfectly blended into the flavor and mouthfeel…seriously, in my opinion—the best IPA I’ve ever tasted! Mind you—it IS on the very pricey side at like $9.99 for ONE 1 pint 3.2oz tall can…but it’s such a treat to drink, and the ABV in this will have you feeling so nice! I’d say I’d only still prefer Lagunitas’ Super Cluster only because I can get a 6-pack cans for around the same price as one can of this…but I’ve been having a hard time finding fresh Super Cluster, so this is my new go-to for citra hop heaven! Thanks Knee Deep Brewing Co. for such a delicious and strong brew!

Pours like the typical IPA, copper in color also creates the typical white head with nice lacing. Nose is in piney and citrus. Initial taste is a shock, can't really describe it, but it is not offensive. After taste is straight up bitterness that could be offensive, however being a hophead I love it. Abv is evident.

 

Bottled 7/23/21.

Wow this smells so delicious.  It's fresh and very herbaceous.  It's both sweet and extremely hoppy.  It almost smells like basil.

The taste is so balanced.  There is mild sweetness and bitterness but something else too.  Like it's seasoned with hops.

It's thin and has mild to medium carbonation.  The finish is almost violent bitterness.

This is a brilliant IPA one of my favorites.  It's clean and refreshing while simultaneously being bold with flavor.  I give it a 5.7 out of 6.

 

Like getting smacked in the face with a pine tree, but in a good way. Nice color and a frothy head with bitterness that's balanced by a hint of sweetness and a ton of citrus and pine. I find myself drinking this one way faster than I should given it's 11.25% ABV.

Look: clear golden amber. Big fluffy off white head, messy lacing, with an oily sheen.
Smell: dank, pungent, tropical fruit, and caramel malty backbone.
Taste: much like the nose. A bit of sweetness up front, with a dry slightly bitter finish.

Excellent IIIPA! It said 131 IBUs, but balanced and very tasty. I like hop forward IIPAs and IIIPAs and was not disappointed. Highly recommend this one!!!

Knee Deep Simtra Triple IPA. 11.25% ABV and 131 IBU, bottled 05/14/2020. Served in a globe glass. Pale brassy in color and lightly hazed, with a small white head. Potent aroma of pine forest and tropical fruit. Flavor is a hop-forward blast of pine sap, guava, pineapple, citrus pith, and resin. It is actually unbelievable that an IPA of these proportions is actually enjoyable -- which this IPA is, more than a little. The body of this beer has just a hint of caramelization, but clearly there's a load of residual sugar here balancing out all those IBUs. I do wish I had opened this one back in October when I got it. But there are just so many beers and this one I quite a beast.

An excellent hoppy beer with a piney taste that feels pretty light for a triple IPA. The look is fine, but that's really the only downside to this beer. The hops further the pine flavor and linger without propping up an overly boozy finish The smell is light with a small bite to it as well. Super light for a beer with 11.25% ABV. Would highly recommend this beer brewed with superior brewmanship.
