Ursa Minor Big Bad John Triple IPA

 


Ursa Minor Big Bad John Triple IPA.

10.5% ABV. Ursa Minor Brewing, Duluth, Minnesota.

Lightly hazed, nearly clear, bright golden/ orange hue. Lasting, lace-leaving, lovely ivory head.

In the nose: dank and resinous, bristling with citrus and pine. 

In the mouth: oooh, wee, that’s the stuff! Popping with hops, bursting with bitterness, buzzing the palate. Intense and immense, large in body, astounding in it’s intentions. Beefy and brimming with citrus tones, stone fruit, pine, and stick-ickiness. 

I’m digging this big time. 


A truly special brew for the Ursa Minor Crew. Brewed in honor of Ben’s father, Big Bad John is the beer that inspired Ursa Minor itself. Big Bad John had a personality that filled the room. He cared about his neighbors, loved his family, and had a knack for bringing people together to enjoy life. He was humble and strong and exuded confidence. We brewed this beer to embody Johns’s personality. A triple IPA, because a double IPA was simply not enough. Filled with intense hop flavor and aroma with an alcohol level to match. A full-bodied malt backbone supports the incredible bold flavors in this brew. Strong, bold and always down for a good time. Come together, enjoy new and old friends, and share your story. Cheers!
