Gaia Hypothesis Belgian IPA

7.7% ABV | 30 IBU

Belgian IPAs are inspired by American India Pale Ales and Double IPAs. Generally, Belgian IPAs are considered too hoppy by Belgian beer drinkers. Various malts are used, but the beers of this style are finished with Belgian yeast strains (bottle-conditioned) while the hops employed tend to be American. You’ll generally find a cleaner bitterness versus American IPAs, and a pronounced dry edge, akin to an IPA crossed with a Belgian Tripel. Alcohol by volume is on the high side. Many examples are quite cloudy, and feature tight lacing, excellent head retention, and fantastic billowy heads that mesmerize (thanks, in part, to the hops). Belgian IPA is still very much a developing style.

Servus Triple IPA

10% ABV | 25 IBU

Servus is a German word that can both mean hello and goodbye, so it is fitting that it is the name we use for Matty’s (Matthew Eck) last brew at Strangeways FXBG. It serves as both the last beer that he made here and the first beer that the new head brewer in Fredericksburg, Brian Mandeville dry hopped, transferred, and packaged.

Servus has a big tropical, fruity, aroma that is dominated by passion fruit and mango with subtle tones of peach and pine. At first sip, a hint of sweetness quickly dissipates to display a dank and resinous palate that is backed by peach and mixed tropical fruit.
