Triptych Brewing Batch 600 Review
Today, I find myself indulging in the riveting experience of tasting another masterpiece from Triptych Brewing. Batch 600, as the mesmerizing beverage is known, is a hazy triple IPA that is brimming with flavors and textures worth reminiscing. This isn’t just another beer in a sea of endless varieties. Batch 600 is an adventure, an exploration of exquisite taste and passion, all expertly crafted together by a brewery that clearly understands its craft.
Sensational Smell
Firstly, let’s discuss the aroma – rated an impressive 12 points – which is moderately strong, invigorating, and immediately sets the tropical stage for the taste adventure to follow. As soon as you crack the seal, a melange of tropical scents burst forth, with dominant notes of juicy pineapple, tantalizing orange, and a slight touch of exotic guava. There’s a distinct hint of alcohol that adds a certain weight to the aroma, though it leans a bit towards solventy.
Lovely Appearance
Next up, the appearance – an appealing 3 points. As a hazy triple IPA, Batch 600 personifies the charm of cloudiness which not just aligns with its nature but adds an element of visual allure. This beer definitely wins some spots for its intriguing appearance.
Flavorful Nuances
Onto the all-important flavor, which scored a robust 18 points on the scoreboard. The tropical theme continues, but with an enriched depth. Every sip of this beer felt like biting into ripe, juicy fruit emanating tropical notes that awaken the senses, it’s darn near intoxicating. There’s a slow dance between sweetness and bitterness, each working in synergy to create a balanced profile. As I finished each gulp, the remaining sweetness lightened up a bit, allowing the alcohol to pitch in and bring balance to the table.
Mouthfeel Worth Admiring
Lastly, we cannot ignore the mouthfeel, an essential aspect which earned an applaudable 4 points. The silky oats and favorite British malts together form a lovely smooth beer which overflows with sherbet, mango, peach, and citrus. Every sip leaves behind an irresistible taste and a pleasing sensation that only makes you reach out for the next sip, quicker. Altogether, the mouthfeel was a superb complement to the strong flavors and the alcohol’s backhand warmth, rounding everything up perfectly.
Added Thoughts from Editors
From the perspective of our editors, the orange-smoothie nose with glimpses of sharp orange curaçao liqueur stands out. Yet, they point out that the body, which is loosely structured and quite sweet, could benefit from just a touch more bitterness. An enjoyable journey nevertheless, but that hint of extra bitterness might have elevated the overall experience.
A Final Verdict
In conclusion, Triptych Brewing’s Batch 600 is an impressive IPA that stands out amongst the crowd, scoring an overall rating of 95/100. The combination of its tropical aroma, aesthetic appearance, rich flavor, and smooth mouthfeel render it worthy of any beer lover’s attention. Remember, what goes in your glass is not just an IPA, but a labor of love that overflows with sherbet, mango, peach, and citrus. Cheers!
