“This is old school to your dome,” jokes innovation brewer Isaiah Mangold. He makes it clear: it’s not a juicy triple; this is fierce West Coast flavor with the “heavyweight hop” Eclipse in the spotlight. Its huge citrus aroma gives way to flavors of pine resin and orange marmalade, yet that fruit fades into a peppery spice on the back-end. Idaho 7, Magnum, and Azacca hops anchor the hot side, adding a woodsy depth of flavor and the bitterness to keep 2-row Pale sweetness in check.

Picked up 6 of these 11-19-22 with the AHS Release #7. Canned 11-8-22; consumed for review 12-1-22.

Beer poured deep gold with a very nice white head.

Nose is citrusy with a touch of floral hops.

Taste is spot on old school WCITPA, big malt base that displays a grapefruit and orange hops profile. Finishes with a nice piney back-end hop bite; 8/10 on my scale.

Mouthfeel is medium to large bodied and very smooth.

Overall a treasure to try, nicely done!
