A collaboration/dedication ale brewed with our friend Urbain from the Belgian brewery De Struise, this intense Belgian-style double IPA was fermented with Urbain's special yeast and then an amazing amount of hops were added. This beer was brewed in loving memory of a former employee, Rich Sheppard, who passed away on 4.11.11. Art by Tommy Borst. Try this beer and enjoy the Rich life.

Bottle dated 2/20/18. Pours lighter shade of amber, a bit of head remains with small and medium bubbles. Smells of bubblegum, bread, banana. Taste is bubblegum, tropical fruit, bready aftertaste. Mouth feel is very carbonated. Great job marrying the IPA and Belgian styles.

Super fresh Belgium DIPA purchased at Binny's today. .
..had it last year and it was clear the bottle had sat on a shelf too long. This is a quintessential 3F's collab and in my humble opinion one of best examples of the style you'll find.
