Thornbridge black ipa
Tried the thornbridge bipa the other day. Loved it! Anyone got any pointers on how they got that lovely pineapple hop flavour? Anyone know what the hop mix is?

Cheers, that's quite the hop list. I'm surprised about the chic and patient as I didn't think it was that roasty

Are you sure you got pineapple, because Chinook gives you grapefruit, might be the combination of Chinook & Amarillo that does it?dreadskin69 wrote:Tried the thornbridge bipa the other day. Loved it!

Re: Thornbridge black ipa
It is a hefty line up of hops. Their website actually states it's got 6 hops and 5 malts but they only list 5 and 4 respectively.
Would love to brew something like this too but still have a mass of other hops to use up before buying a load more!

Re: Thornbridge black ipa
Me and my mate had just finished brewing bioa and sat down to share a bottle of thus. We both said at the same time, with confused looks on our faces, pinapple. Next question was, what hop gives pineapple? I presumed it was a mix but hadn't gambles on chinook and Amarillo. I had thought mosaic maybe in there but...

Re: Thornbridge black ipa
I confess I'm guessing, the orange of amarillo and grapefruit of Chinook might give this, the test would be to combine some in a cup and pour boiling water on them and see what happens. If it is close then it's just a case of adjusting quantities to hit the mark.dreadskin69 wrote:Me and my mate had just finished brewing bioa and sat down to share a bottle of thus.

Re: Thornbridge black ipa
I have frequently found pineapple in my beers containing mixtures of cascade/ amarillo/ Nelson sauvin.
However, I find that the pineapple disappears very quickly though - after 3/4 weeks it's gone. Maybe you had a young beer ?
