Reviewing the Bridge Road Brewers' B2 Bomber

If you're a craft beer enthusiast or a fan of bold flavours, this video dives into the unique characteristics of Bridge Road Brewers' B2 Bomber, a Belgian White Double IPA with an impressive 10% ABV. Known for its rich complexity, this brew combines the best of both Belgian and IPA styles, creating a beer that's both powerful and intriguing. The video highlights its tropical aroma, coffee undertones, and distinctive biotransformation process that enhances the beer’s flavour profile.

Tasting Notes: A Complex Flavour Journey

The B2 Bomber offers a range of flavours that will excite your palate. As described in the video, this beer brings forward notes of coffee, treacle, and caramelised sugar. Additionally, you'll discover fruity hints of grapefruit, apricot, and white peach that add a light contrast to the darker, malt-forward base. The tropical notes come from the thiolized yeast, which unlocks previously untapped flavours in the beer.

What is Thiolized Yeast and How It Impacts the Beer

A unique aspect of the B2 Bomber is the use of thiolized yeast, a genetically modified yeast that undergoes biotransformation. This process allows certain flavours, called thiols, to be more pronounced, especially tropical fruit characteristics. This gives the beer its distinctive aroma and adds a new dimension to the tasting experience.

Perfect for Dark Beer Lovers
