The legendary hop-hunter Krunkles turns up yet again, back from a tour of the Orient. His mission this time is to get experimental; his unbounded travels have earned him an honorary doctorate (“Doctor of what?”, you may ask? This would be a question to which only Krunkles knows the answer…) and he’s sequestered himself in the lab perfecting a never-before-seen formula for his beloved IPA.
Dr. Krunkles White Farmhouse IPA reaches new heights in complexity and flavor by combining the malt and spices of a Belgian Witbier, the yeast of a Farmhouse Ale, and the hoppy goodness of an American IPA. Krunkles’ twisted touch is a dash of white peppercorn followed by wood aging on white ash.

Chemical smell and taste. Over carbonated. I love terrapin, but this is not their best.

Funky, clean with a slight cheese aftertaste. Interesting but solid beer. Cool experiment

Undated bottle at 40 degrees into a snifter
Aroma of pine and spice
Head average (4 cm), white, frothy, rapidly diminishing to 4 mm ring and 1 mm layer
Lacing poor – half dozen various size islands of tiny to medium bubbles
Body light yellow, cloudy
Flavor begins with a blast of pepper and hops, slowly fades to yeast phenolics; no alcohol, no diacetyl
Palate medium, watery, aggressive carbonation
Appearance 3, Aroma 4, Flavor 4.5, Palate 2.75, Overall 3.5625. Final weighted score: 3.9625.
This is a very good entry in the Terrapin Side Project series with the only real flaw for me being the over-aggressive carbonation – kind of like chewing an Alka-Seltzer tablet. The flavors of pine and white pepper balance the yeast phenolics nicely producing a pretty good drink once the carbonation dies. This is one I’d like to see become permanent.
