Cool name, this was the first triple ipa I tried at the dipa fest this year. Orangey pour, minimal off white head on the top of it. Aroma wasn't massive hops, lots of bitterness, a decent amoun of dry hopping, but completely indistinguishable as a 'triple' ipa compared to many of the uber dry hopped pales, single ipas and double ipas out there other than there was a little more malty caramel sweetness to it.
The taste, its decent stuff, delivers a little better on the hop flavor, but its still that grapefruit bitterness that gets a hold of you moreso than any other characteristic. Lots of viscosity, thickness, syrupy and all that it takes to make a beer this big.
I'd have it again, but I dunno, I think PU240 and golddigger really allow the hop profile to shine more.

A non-hazy triple IPA that clocks in at 140 IBU. Oh, yeah. Really not bad. Not overly malty or boozy. The brewers don't say which hops they used here, but based on the taste, I'd guess there's quite a bit of Chinook. Aromatics are weak. Feel is about what you'd expect for a WC TIPA. If I'm honest, this doesn't quite stand up to some of the real stars of the California TIPA scene, but it's a good triple IPA, one that would definitely get again.

Orange pour, flimsy off white head on top. Aroma was sweet malt foremost, got some hops in there for sure, mostly c hops.
Syrupy, thick viscosity hop oils, sweet caramel, lots of bitterness of the grapefruit variety. They make better double ipas and whatnot.

Auburn but more orange, off white foam. Immediate fresh wet hop, ripe mango, citrus and no green. Mouth coating and syrupy. Thick.
