Venn Brewing Batch 100 Holy Trinity Triple IPA

Venn Brewing Batch # 100 Holy Trinity Triple IPA. 11.4 % ABV, 110 IBU. Venn Brewing, Minneapolis, MN.

Clear, bright golden hue, gorgeous snowy white head, looking lovely.

In the nose: sweetness, fruit, hops. Mostly citrus & pine. Alcoholic strength is highly apparent.

In the mouth: big citrus & pine, powerful hoppy punch. Surpringly smooth and ten kinds of tasty. Light bodied, easy-drinking (despite the 11.4% ABV). A little sharp at turns, but altogether delicious.

Yum a dum dum.

Dank, citrus, tropical fruit.
For our 100th batch we brewed a ridiculous, over-the-top Triple IPA featuring the “holy trinity” of hops: Citra, Mosaic, and Simcoe. Using standard pellets, cryo pellets, resinate, and extract, it was hopped at every opportunity: Mash hops, first-wort, bittering, mid-boil, whirlpool, fermentation, and three dry hop additions.

Malts: Extra Pale Pilsner, Flaked Rice, Candi Syrup.
Hops: Citra, Simcoe, Mosaic, Idaho 7.
Yeast: American Ale.
