This wheated variant of an all-Citra DIPA, enhanced with Riwaka and Nectaron, scores an astounding 99 out of 100 in a comprehensive review. Here’s an exploration of what sets this beer apart, and why it’s worth seeking out.
Aesthetic Appeal
The visual appeal of this beer registers a solid 3. It boasts a beautiful, sunny yellow color, reminiscent of a summery lemony citrus. The medium head further enhances its appeal, creating a frothy, inviting layer atop the beer. But the true beauty of this beer isn’t just in its looks — it’s in its aroma, flavor, and mouthfeel.
Sensorial Delight
The Clapback Triple Bizarro invites you in with a seductive aroma, scoring a 12 on the scale. It’s a multi-faceted, aromatic experience that’s simultaneously punchy, dank green, and delightfully sweet. Candied apricot, sweet fruity alcohol notes, and whispers of amaretto combine to create an intensely enjoyable olfactory experience.
But the true pièce de résistance is its flavor. Scoring a full 20 out of 20, this beer is a powerhouse of diverse, delicious taste notes. You’ll find yourself traveling through a delicious landscape of sweet rolls, candied orange, stone fruits, and honey, all underlined by subtle overtones of herbal tea. The bitterness is perfectly pitched, balancing out the sweetness and adding another layer to the taste profile. This beer offers an enormous range of flavors, all perfectly balanced and harmonizing wonderfully together.
Perceptible Texture
The mouthfeel of the Clapback Triple Bizarro is incredible, netting a score of 5. It manages to be muscular yet responsive, leaving a resonant tropical bitterness balanced with tinges of orange and lime peel. It weaves together sweetness, bitterness, acidity, and freshness, creating a surprisingly well-balanced sensation despite the vast array of flavors on offer.
In sum, the Clapback Triple Bizarro is no ordinary beer. Rather, it’s a tapestry of flavors, aromas, and sensations, set on a canvas of high-quality beer. This is a must-try for those adventurous in their search for unique flavor profiles — a beer that pushes boundaries while creating an utterly enjoyable drinking experience.
