FrauGruber Bikini Bottom

Overview

At 10.2% ABV, Bikini Bottom sits firmly among the heavier hitters of the Triple IPA category, brewed by FrauGruber Brewing in Bavaria. A beer at this strength leans on a substantial hop charge balanced by an equally full malt backbone.

Tasting Notes

Expect the kind of dense, resinous hop nose and sweet malt foundation typical of a Triple IPA at this ABV, built to carry the alcohol without feeling thin. On the palate, a full, oily body gives way to a long, slowly fading bitter finish.

Brewery

FrauGruber Brewing, based in Gundelfingen an der Donau, was founded in 2017 by Enzo Frauenschuh and Matthias Gruber, starting out as a gypsy brewery before opening their own production site.

Serving

Serve around 8-10°C in a tulip glass, pairing well with richly spiced grilled meat or a mature blue cheese.
