Notes:
Obscene amounts of Australian Galaxy hops used to counter the amount of malt used to get to this high of an ABV while still keeping the bitterness down – this beer is all about aroma. With super-saturated highlights of mixed berry, mint, melon, tangerine, and pine sap, Attacus is an opulent yet approachable experience.

Very dense & hazy OJ look. Strong smell of dank tropical hops. Strong flavors of ripe tangy citrus, it's the Galaxy hops. Has a great hoppy bitter aftertaste that sticks. This brew is a real heavy hitter & definitely one of my all time favorites. It's not for the weak. I recommend enjoying this masterpiece while listening to Burn in Hell by Twisted Sister!

Can denotes “No. 3”. Taste is bitter hop, pineapple, and citrus. Some dank on the finish. Feel is smooth and pillowy. Some slight hop burn is the only detractor. Overall, well above average.

Pint can, well chilled, poured into a snifter. Canned on 7/22/22, openened on 8/28/22. Fresh.,,
Rich finger of head on top of mimosa orange colored haze that worked its way down throughout the experience.
Smells of orange juice, orange zest, piney hops.
Taste explodes into citrusy hops and plays the sweet/bitter balance really well. Great rolling aftertaste, little welcome burn, hop on the burp.
Feel is almost thick, nicely carbonated.
Overall, a special TIPA with more going for it than just ABV or juice. It’s one of the better Big IPAs out there this year.

Dirty, pale straw yellow body sporting a thick a frothy white head; rings of foam descend the glass. Pine and citrus elements swarm the nose; lemon and mango. Light malt base supporting a bold and heavy hop bitterness; faint notes of orange juice and grapefruit; light breadiness. Heavy body; sharp and acidic; biting booziness.
This is a triple IPA. It packs a wallop. It's good. Canned 02/10/21.

Orange juice appearance with a white head. Pine resin hops with grapefruit and melon in the nose. Taste add fresh cut grass on the finish and waves of citrus and big papaya and pineapple beforehand. Medium bodied but has a resinous viscosity to it, moderate carbonation helps break up and elevate, but still left with a sticky and bright impression as a result. Very refreshing, but given massive nature would want in spring not summer, which you know fits the whole butterfly thing

Had poured from pint can, bottom stamped "CANNED ON 01/08/21," gift from little brother, into nonic pint.
Pours bright, hazy orange juice with 1-finger near-white head, which soon dissipates, but leaves some sketchy lace. Aroma of mixed fruit off the pour, including some strawberry, joined by malt and resin, and growing dankness and citrus peel as warms. Begins with resinous hop bite, then tropical fruits, including melon, carrying into big, bitter and resinous finish.
Hazy West Coast IPA.

Bought at Hazel's in Boulder, CO. #3. Canned 02/10/21, consumed 03/29/21.
A&S: The beer is butterscotch colored. Pours a finger of white fizzy foamy head. Lacing clings to the glass Initially the aroma is very similar to their hazy I tried recently, ghost in the machine. Juicy and tropical. But as it warms, more of the hop aroma comes out strong and piney.
T&M: Definitely my kind of double/triple IPA, not too sweet. Powerful hop aroma upfront. Again piney, but also floral and citrus (tangerines). Hints of tobacco. This beer is super drinkable, the ABV is well hidden. Nice floral bitterness with hints of honey in the finish. Burps are super resiny.
Overall: Excellent beer! Would highly recommend this one! Might even need to push this one higher up. My one knock/pet peeve that this beer brings up is what categorizes as a double or triple. This beer is 9% ABV. To me, that's a double, but hey, call it what you will, it is still good.

Poured into a 13 oz Teku glass canned on 12/01/20. Pours a very hazy yellow with a finger plus sticky white head, that leaves a wall of lace with excellent retention. 4.75
Aroma is melon, guava, peach, mandarin, and apricot. 4.25
Taste follows honeydew, guava, mandarin, peach, and apricot really nice but I can only imagine how good it once was. 4.25
Mouthfeel is big, soft gentle carbonation, a tad sticky but not dry, and at 9% ABV it is really easy going down. 4.5
Overall this one I will seek out fresh next batch, because the flavor had a slight stale thing going, but I bet fresh it is magical. 4.25

A: The beer is very hazy yellow in color. It poured with a half finger high white head that left a narrow collar around the edge and lots of lacing on the surface and down the sides of the glass.
S: Musty aromas of grapefruit citrus and peach are present in the nose.
T: The taste has flavors of peaches along with notes of passion fruit and finishes with hints of pine. There is a light amount of bitterness and faint bits of alcohol.
M: It feels a bit more than medium-bodied on the palate and is a little juicy and crisp with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: I found this beer to be surprisingly dank for an IPA brewed with Galaxy hops.
Serving type: can

First Parish beer I’ve had. Hazy golden yellow with creamy frothy head. Dank and hoppy scent, citrusy lemon notes. Taste is dank and sharp, very hoppy. Medium bodied, slightly mouth watering finish, mildly boozy.
