3 Tristes Tigres
This potent American IPA, a collaborative effort featuring soft Montferrí water, presents a vibrant sensory profile driven by a sophisticated hop selection. The use of Maris Otter, Biscuit, and Caramalt malts provides a sturdy, toasted foundation without excessive sweetness, allowing the hops to take center stage. High-intensity aromas of citrus and tropical fruit from Simcoe and Citra dominate the nose, bolstered by a clean fermentation from California Ale yeast. Target and Willamette hops provide a firm, structured bitterness and earthy flavor depth. Despite its 8% strength, the finish remains remarkably balanced, delivering a punchy, aromatic experience with a lingering hoppy resonance.
Appearance. Color ranges from medium gold to light reddish-amber (7–12 SRM). It features a medium-sized, off-white head with good persistence and light lacing. Clarity is clear to brilliant, typical of a well-conditioned ale.
Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent notes of grapefruit, resinous pine, and tropical fruit from Simcoe and Citra. A low, clean, bready malt character from the Maris Otter provides a supportive base. Fermentation is clean with very low esters and a subtle, smooth alcohol presence.
Taste. Initial impression is decidedly hop-forward, showcasing citrus zest and pine resin. A firm, medium-high bitterness is supported by the earthy and slightly spicy notes of Target and Willamette hops. The malt profile is low to medium-low, contributing toasted biscuit flavors without caramel sweetness. The finish is dry and clean with a lingering hoppy aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a crisp feel. A noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, reflecting the 8% ABV without being harsh.
