Could You Calculate the Bearing
In this collaboration with Popihn, we brewed a thiolized Triple IPA bursting with tropical flavors. We selected the special NZ Wakatu hop, a variety with roots in Hallertau. The result? A wonderfully sweeter IPA packed with intense mango and lime flavors. Citra and Sabro hops add a refreshing touch, perfectly balancing the tropical notes. Triple mashed for a rich body, making this insanely tropical brew a celebration in every sip.

Moersleutel x Popihn CYCT Bearing – Thiolized Triple IPA 9%

Could You Calculate the Bearing? A Tropical Celebration in Every Sip.

Introducing CYCT Bearing, a collaboration brew with Popihn that takes our hop engineering into full tropical overdrive. This is a thiolized Triple IPA (9%), designed to amplify fruit intensity through modern yeast expression and a hop bill built for bright, exotic aromatics.

At the center of the recipe is New Zealand Wakatu — a hop with Hallertau roots that brings a distinct sweetness and a vivid punch of mango and lime. To sharpen and brighten the profile, we layered in Citra Cryo and Sabro, with Nelson Sauvin adding refined fruit complexity. Finished with a triple mash for a rich, plush body, CYCT Bearing is an insanely tropical TIPA that drinks like a celebration.

The Craft Behind CYCT Bearing

Thiolized Yeast, Triple Mash & New Zealand Hop Character

CYCT Bearing is built around the idea that intensity should feel smooth, not harsh. To get there, we combined three key components: thiolized fermentation, high-impact hops, and a rich malt foundation.

Wakatu: Mango, Lime & Soft Sweetness

Wakatu is a standout New Zealand variety with genetic roots in Hallertau. In this beer, it delivers:

  • Mango-like tropical fruit

  • Bright lime zest

  • A soft sweetness that makes the TIPA feel rounded and lush

Citra Cryo + Sabro: Freshness & Exotic Layers

  • Citra Cryo boosts aroma saturation and adds punchy citrus freshness

  • Sabro brings unique tropical depth (think creamy, exotic fruit character) and rounds off the hop profile

Nelson Sauvin: Elegant Lift

Nelson brings an extra dimension of bright fruit complexity, helping the beer feel vibrant and complete.

Thiolized Fermentation: Extra Tropical Expression

Using thiolized yeast helps unlock and boost tropical thiol compounds, lifting notes like:

  • Mango

  • Lime

  • Passion fruit

  • Tropical citrus

It’s the ultimate tool for creating a fruit-forward IPA without pushing bitterness too far.

Triple Mashed for a Rich, Smooth Body

CYCT Bearing is triple mashed, building:

  • A fuller, plush mouthfeel

  • Smooth sweetness and body to support 9% strength

  • A soft landing for intense hop saturation

Tasting Experience

Aroma: Mango, Lime & Tropical Brightness

Expect an aromatic blast of:

  • Ripe mango

  • Lime zest

  • Tropical fruit candy notes

  • Fresh citrus and a hint of creamy exotic fruit

Flavor Profile: Sweet-Tropical Overdrive

The palate is bold and celebratory:

  • Mango and lime up front

  • Bright citrus from Citra Cryo

  • Exotic tropical depth from Sabro

  • A refined fruity layer from Nelson Sauvin

  • Gentle bitterness keeping it balanced and dangerously drinkable

Mouthfeel & Finish: Plush, Smooth & Warming

Full-bodied and silky thanks to the triple mash, with a warming finish that stays fruity and fresh rather than heavy.

What Makes CYCT Bearing Unique?

Wakatu-Led Tropical Sweetness

This beer leans into Wakatu’s sweet, fruity side — mango and lime with a clean, bright edge — making it stand out from typical hazy TIPAs.

Thiolized + Triple Mashed = Maximum Fruit, Maximum Smoothness

Thiolized fermentation boosts tropical impact, while triple mashing gives the beer the body to carry it all. The result: big flavor, soft texture, and a celebratory tropical finish.

Perfect Pairings

CYCT Bearing pairs beautifully with:

  • Spicy tacos and hot wings

  • Thai curry or spicy noodles

  • Grilled shrimp, salmon, or chicken

  • Tropical desserts like mango sorbet or coconut cake

The sweetness and fruit intensity complement heat and salt perfectly.

Serving Tips

  • Serve at: 8–10°C for full aromatics

  • Glassware: Teku or tulip glass

  • Enjoy fresh: thiol and hop aromatics shine brightest early
