Sudden Death - Too Good (to Be Bad)

Too Good to Be Bad: A Double NEIPA to Fall in Love With

The crew from Sudden Death Brewing in Lübeck is known for taking no prisoners when it comes to hop-heavy powerhouses. With Too Good to Be Bad, they release a Double New England IPA that redefines the line between sinful intensity and heavenly drinkability. As usual with Sudden Death, the martial name hides a sophisticated brewing concept focused on maximum aroma extraction and a velvety mouthfeel.

Sudden Death Brewing has earned a reputation in the German craft beer scene as a specialist for modern, hazy styles. At their brewery in Lübeck's shipyard district, they create beers that compete on an international level. Too Good to Be Bad is a prime example of their philosophy: uncompromising hop quality paired with a good dose of rock 'n' roll.

In the Glass

In the glass, this DIPA presents a dense, hazy honey-yellow with a stable, fine-pored head. From the very first sniff, intense aromas of ripe mango, passion fruit, and juicy pineapple flood the nose. On the palate, the beer is full-bodied and creamy, almost like a multi-vitamin juice for adults. The 8.0% ABV is perfectly integrated into the voluminous body, while a subtle but present bitterness in the finish balances the tropical sweetness perfectly. A true hazy highlight that remains dangerously drinkable despite its punch.

Food Pairing

Pairs with: Tacos al Pastor, Carrot Cake – and Manchego cheese.
