A triple IPA? Is that even possible? How does that work? The easy answer: more hops, more grain (way more). Lambda is not a 90s East coast malt bomb. Melvin makes beer from the future. This beer is made on the West coast of Wyoming and has hops for days. Citra, Lewis, Chinook, Amarillo, Gilbert, Columbus, Takashi, Mosaic, Simcoe, Lamar.

Holy moley, triple IPA's REALLY are upping their game, and this on is no exception. A very creamy golden pour yields a massive off-white head that laces with the viscosity of the high-abv brew. Boozy and sweet, but still pleasant, with a strong sweet malt profile and resinous pine and lemon pile, flowers and alcohol warmth. Glad this is only in a 12oz can, it packs a punch.

WOWZERS.
Clear amber in color with tight white head. Head gave way to decent lacing. Nose is pine and citrus and sort of funky, but in a good way, not repulsive. Taste was was bitter and eye opening with the higher ABV attacking the palate. Above average IIPA.

Draft at PreFunk for 2x4 day. Mild hazy golden, soft soapy head. Gentle aroma belies what’s to follow. Yeasty, floral hoppy flavors on top of some growing warmth from the high ABV. Builds to a nice crescendo, flavorful with a bit of burn.

A 12 ounce can poured into a snifter.

Smell- Citrus, herbal, pine, slightly dank, slightly boozy.
Taste- Pine, herbal, slight citrus finish, boozy finish.

As a hard IPA, it's fine, but not great. Has the classic Grapefruit and even pineabpple undertones to it, but really it's just a bit too sweet. the booziness not really concealed enough. Decent beer, not great
