Double IPA
ABV: 8.00%
IBU: 92
SRM / Coloring : Pale to Amber
When you come to Thr3e Wise Men Brewery in Broad Ripple, this is the staple beer that they serve. I actually used to work here , and whenever people come in, it's the one thing I recommend and people rave about; intense, robust flavor, and who could possibly complain about 8% alcohol? Tastes like a win win situation.
A double IPA differs from a normal IPA in that it has more additives at work in the brewing process, thus it has a higher alcohol content and a more robust flavor. Also known as an imperial IPA, it has a rich color, full body, and thick defining flavor.
This double IPA is made with glacier and Falconer's flight hops, a mixture of hops from northern Indiana, as well as clover honey from a local farm in Martinsville. Looking at the beer it has a darker amber color than most single IPA's, and it has the distinct smell of hops, clovers, and flowers on the nose. Tasting the beer, it has a dense hoppy taste (as expected) but the honey infusion almost gives it a warming sensation on the back end like with whiskey or bourbon, eliminating any bite. It's the perfect beer for a cold fall evening, warming you up on the inside.
