TDHIPA Series 8
Tupps Brewery

This is a refreshing New England IPA from Tupps brewery. The hops are listed on the front of the can, 40% XO6297, 30% Mosaic hops, and 30% lemon drop, which I think is helpful. I like Mosaic hops. TDHIPA (Triple Dry Hopped IPA) is a bit of a funny name. It is hot here right now and this is a great hot weather IPA.

Look: golden with a very thick off-white head

Aroma: grapefruit, pineapple, mango

Taste: The flavor is fruity with pineapple, lemon, mango, and grapefruit with a significant grapefruit rind bitterness towards the end.

Body/Overall: light and crisp easy drinking

The term Triple Dry Hopped might be a marketing term or just bad English but in this case who cares. Triple the hops or not it's incredibly good beer. An excellent example of a tropical NEIPA; flavors of stone fruits such as peach and apricot with a hint of mango. Excellent body and haze but a tame 7.1% ABV. The better Tupps IPA blends tend to have an almost lactose creaminess which this one has. Tupps continually pumps out incredible beer and has to be the hottest brewery in Texas. Am I a fan boy . . . Hell yeah, they don't make bad beer.

 

 

Juicy pineapple-apricot-lemon nose with the thick, pineapple pulp-colored pour. Head is creamy.
Taste is mostly pineapple, with some citrus and undertones of sweet melon/ apricot.
Feels creamy and full with a very refreshing tartness to the finish.
Another winning dry-hopped IPA from McKinney’s Tupps. I initially saw this four-pack and wondered why not a six like their others in the series, then it occurred to me upon reading the cans that this was a triple job. A job well done!
