Some say “bigger is better!”. At Hoppin’ Frog, we built a massive hop dam to handle the enormous amount of hops added to this colossal American Triple I.P.A. An intense experience of citrus and piney hop character is complemented by layers of rich malt flavor. Behold our new standard for hoppy beers.

The beer is golden and fairly clear with a small white head. The aroma is great, offering a big dose of citric hops, followed by alcohol. Pineapples and mango. Good flavor. Bold and aggressive. Aroma is a step above the flavor. A solid offering from Fred and Hoppin' Frog. Best shared.

I liked this quite a bit but for the price it doesn't compare to other IPAs in the price range. It really is good just seems like a lot of effort to come up with a good not great IPA.

12oz bottle poured into a pint glass
A: Burnt orange with a thin head
S: Tons of citrus/grass/herbs, all hops
T: Matches the nose up front - tons of hops with some caramel/malt underneath
M: Full-bodied, bitter
O: A nice TIPA though pricey compared to others on the market

22oz bottle served in a large snifter. I don't see a date. Given to me by @mr-jj.
Pours a clear reddihs amber, moderaely dark, with a very small head, and a very small amount of carbonation. Smell is barleywine, malt and alcohol -- a little cherry or apricot. Some fruity aroma.
Taste is powerfully bitter -- wow! Like chewing on hops (which I've done)! Hard to get much else in the flavor -- but there's some honeysuckle, it's not lacking in sweetness, there's just so much bitter.
Mouthfeel is smooth, dry, but super sticky. Overall, it's a good beer, but you better be in love with hops.
