Heavy Cross is Jopen Bier's Tripel IPA from Haarlem, a brewery with a distinctive focus on the India Pale Ale style. This amber-coloured beer at 10% ABV delivers a bold hop-forward character. The blend of hop varieties including Hüll Melon and Hallertau Blanc creates soft melon aromas, citrus notes and tropical fruit character.

The palate mirrors the nose with pronounced fruit flavours and a firm bitterness. A solid malt backbone provides sweetness and body to anchor the hop intensity. Heavy Cross is a full-bodied, assertive IPA that achieves balance between resinous hop bitterness, fruity esters and a lingering malty finish.
