Look - 16 oz can poured into a tasting glass. light golden in color, generally transparent with very slight cloudiness and a bit of floating residue (no canning date, but purchased Nov 2021), and a small frothy head with moderate lacing retention.
Smell - a faint sweetness and a rather distinct but hard to describe yeast smell that yields some light fruitiness of melons and possibly pear. some biscuits detectable and reminds me of a typical malt-forward lager.
Taste - moderate to aggressive bitterness in the form of grassy hops hit the taste buds first, followed by some malts and sweetness and warmness from alcohol. finish is long, with the bitterness lingering for quite some time.
Feel - medium bodied, below average carbonation, and definitely lives up to its name at 10% ABV. alcohol is detectable but well masked.
Overall - an interesting boozy triple IPA with plenty of hops, moderate bitterness, but lager like drinkability. smell and taste for me was a big contrast.

Pours an opaque, hazy shade of yellow with a two finger satin white head of foam.
Huge bouquet of pineapple and strawberries on the nose with hints of sweet orange marmalade and some bitter apricot skins.
Flavor is akin to the nose. It's frontloaded with massive notes of pineapple puree and sweet peaches. Bitter throughout with spicy apricot and grapefruit skins. Goes savory midpalate with funky notes of mango. Ends on vaguely creamy notes of oats.
10% ABV is assertive to the palate, but not unpleasantly so. Full bodied, low carbonation. Borderline syrupy - but the viscosity is on par with other triple IPAs and typical for the alcohol profile.
Overall: Very fruit / berry flavor oriented. Stay away if that isn't your type of thing. Otherwise a solid triple IPA.
