6th Anniversary Ale
Burlington Beer Co.

 

 

Sextuple dry hopped triple ipa pint can poured into an ipa glass

Three finger rocky white foam cap, good retention, good lacings , settles to a dense mountainous island over a turbid amber liquid

“ is that the beer I smell?” Sez the wife on the pour. Very fragrant mango, tropical fruits,pineapple ,

Taste is tropical fruit with a pine finish

Medium sudsing , hop nibble , smooth , almost creamy , gentle hop bitterness nicely lingers

Good beer

16 oz. can.
Canned 10/21/20.
11.0% abv.

Moderate pour yields a one inch off-white head over a murky golden body with very sticky lacing. Nose of orange, tangerine, slight candied lemon, and slighter tropical fruit. Taste of in your face hops with flavors of boozy bitter citrus peel, then tropical fruit in the middle, followed by more citrus peel and the slightest pine sap; finishing fairly dry. Not for the faint of palate! Nice feel and overall, quite the beast right here and glad to have finally tried it.
Cheers!!

 

 

A: Pours a hazy yellow color with 2 fingers of head that fades down to a decent cap that leaves good lacing

S: Tropical fruit, citrus, and floral hops up front along with a light honey sweetness

T: Follows the nose. Starts off with a mix of citrus and floral notes. Picks up the tropical fruit and malty sweetness along with a light bitterness that slowly builds. Finishes with lingering tropical fruit and floral notes

M: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation

O: A very good triple IPA that makes for a great sipper. Not sure how much the sextuple dry-hopping does to an extent, but I get that it’s what they’ve done in the past for their anniversary IPAs as well (quintuple dry hopped last year, quadruple dry hopped two years ago, etc). Definitely has some hop intensity though. Certainly worth checking out if you can find it
