When you’re in the mood for a beer that really packs a punch, give 623 Triple IPA from Simple Machine Brewing a shot. With a hefty ABV of 10.0%, this triple IPA is an unapologetically bold and hop-forward beer that delivers a rich, intense experience from start to finish. Poured into the glass, 623 presents a beautiful amber hue with a slight haze, topped by a thick, creamy white head that promises plenty of flavor. The beer’s complexity and strength are immediately apparent, making it a must-try for anyone who enjoys their IPAs with a serious kick.

623 explodes with a burst of tropical fruit and citrus flavors. We get an immediate hit of juicy grapefruit, pineapple, and orange peel, all complemented by a subtle, resinous pine bitterness that lingers on the palate. The hop profile is big and bold, but it’s balanced by a rich malt sweetness that helps smooth out the intense bitterness of the hops. The higher ABV is well-integrated, providing a warming sensation without overwhelming the beer’s drinkability. Despite its strength, 623 feels surprisingly drinkable, with a full-bodied mouthfeel that’s smooth and satisfying. Each sip brings something new to appreciate, whether it’s the vibrant hop character or the subtle layers of caramel and toasty malt in the background.

What we really love about 623 Triple IPA is how well it holds up over time. While it’s packed with intense hop flavors, the beer never feels too bitter or overpowering. The malt sweetness helps to balance the hop bitterness, making it enjoyable to sip slowly or savor with food. It’s an excellent beer to pair with bold, rich dishes like barbecued meats, spicy foods, or even a rich cheese platter. Whether we’re kicking back with friends at a casual gathering or celebrating something special, 623 always stands out as a beer that demands attention. Simple Machine Brewing has crafted a true hop lover's dream with this triple IPA—if you're a fan of bold, high-ABV IPAs, 623 is definitely a beer worth trying.
