Picked up at City Beer Store last night for $9.99. Just got it in the shop today so I'm expecting this to be rather fresh.

Pours a medium orange with golden highlights around the edges. Thin capping of off-white foam, decent retention. Luscious, inviting aromas with an initial burst of orange zest followed up with a floral/piney duet. Slight hint of toasted bread. Flavor skews towards a heavy floral/perfumey but there's a biting resiny pine too. Bitterness is intense, lingering on into the finish. Brief encounter of clean malty backbone but this vanishes quickly. Moderate body and carbonation. Definite warming from the alcohol but not harsh. One heck of a hop bomb here, the intensity of the flavors certainly indicates a fresh bottle. Delicious, I'm going to enjoy this down to the last drop.

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.
