Moersleutel 9Y Journey to Hades – Triple IPA 9%
A Tropical Descent into the Underworld
A trip to the underworld has never been this tropical.
Journey to Hades is a bold, over-the-top 9% Triple IPA, brewed as part of our 9th anniversary series. Packed with explosive hop character, double mashed for a rich body, and layered with cutting-edge hop products, this beer delivers an intense rush of passionfruit, lemon zest, and tangerine.
Over the top? Absolutely.
Worth the journey? Without question.
The Craft Behind Journey to Hades
Riwaka, Amplified to the Extreme
This beer was designed to showcase Riwaka at its absolute peak — fresh, vibrant, and breathtakingly aromatic.
Riwaka in Three Forms
Riwaka takes center stage, used in:
-
T90 pellets – classic structure and citrus punch
-
Cryo hops – concentrated aroma and intensity
-
Amplifire Oil – pure, explosive freshness
Amplifire Oil is produced from ultra-fresh Riwaka hops, processed into oil the very same day they’re picked. You simply can’t get closer to fresh hop expression than this.
The result? An unmistakable wave of passionfruit, lime, lemon zest, and bright citrus.
Supporting Hops: Depth & Balance
To round out the profile, we added:
-
Idaho-7 (T90 & Cryo) – juicy tropical fruit and stone fruit depth
-
Citra (T90, Cryo & hop oil extract) – citrus brightness and classic tropical punch
Together, these hops create a layered, high-impact tropical experience.
Double Mashed for Maximum Impact
Journey to Hades is double mashed, building:
-
A full, plush body
-
Smooth mouthfeel
-
The structure needed to carry extreme hop saturation
Big flavor demands a big foundation.
