Collaboration with Flying Machine Brewing Company
UNCLE HERSCHEL'S TRIPLE STRENGTH IPA took our hopping rates higher than they've ever been and yielded a big, tasty treat. Brewed in collaboration with our buddies at Flying Machine Brewing down in Wilmington, we threw in Ella for the mid-fermentation hop addition and then bombed with Citra and Galaxy for our final dry hop.... the results were about as you'd expect, super rad!

A: Pours a very murky pale to medium golden yellow in color with moderate amounts of fine active visible carbonation rising along the edges of the glass and moderate bright yellow + orange + honey colored highlights. The beer has a three finger tall dense sudsy foamy off-white head that slowly reduces to a handful of small to medium sized patches of medium thick film surrounded by a large patch of very thin film covering the remainder of the surface of the beer and a medium thick ring at the edges of the glass. Significant amounts of lacing are observed.
S: Moderate to strong aromas of juicy citrus/grapefruit, tropical/mango, tropical/passionfruit, and stone fruit/peach hops as well as light aromas of herbal hops over the top of moderate aromas of biscuit + oat + wheat + caramel malts with moderate amounts of caramel + sugary sweetness.
T: Upfront there are moderate flavors of biscuit + oat + wheat + caramel malts with moderate amounts of caramel + sugary sweetness. That is followed by moderate to strong flavors of juicy citrus/grapefruit, tropical/mango, tropical/passionfruit, and stone fruit/peach hops as well as light flavors of herbal hops which impart a light amount of bitterness which fades away quickly leaving slightly stronger than moderate lingering sweet tropical + citrus hops flavors. Light presence of alcohol in the finish.
M: Medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Light to moderate amounts of soft/fluffiness mid-body with a light amount of dryness in the finish.
O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol considering the strength (just a hint in the finish of the flavor) and a pleasant soft/fluffy mouthfeel. Enjoyable with really nice tropical + citrus hop flavors and aromas with just a hint of herbal hops. Slightly sweet but definitely a beer I would get another time.
