About This Beer
Bold, aromatic and unashamedly hoppy, The Flying Dutchman Flip Flopped White Socked Strong Hopped IPA is a beer that doesn’t play by the rules. Brewed at 5.5% ABV, it delivers all the zesty citrus punch and fruity hop character that modern IPA fans crave, balanced with a light malt sweetness and a dry, crisp finish. This is the kind of beer that turns heads and refreshes palates.
Crafted by the Belgian-based Flying Dutchman Nomad Brewing Company, this IPA features a powerhouse trio of Amarillo, Citra, and Mosaic hops. The result? A bright, juicy flavour profile bursting with mango, pineapple, grapefruit, and pine resin, softened by pale malts and gentle caramel notes. Its clean finish makes it a go-to IPA for any session.
Whether you’re a fan of old-school West Coast IPAs or hazy juice bombs, this beer finds a middle ground that satisfies both. It’s vegan-friendly, unfiltered, and brewed with precision and personality.
