Eleven years of Grey Sail - Triple IPA
Eleven Years ago we would have never
dreamed that Grey Sail would be what it has become today. We have you to thank for that. To show our appreciation, please enjoy this supersized version of our Captain's Daughter brought back
from retirement. At 11.11% it pays true homage to the first batch of beer we ever brewed - Eleven Years ago on 11/11/11.

Pours a slightly hazed & effervescent amber with a thumb of eggshell colored head. Above average lacing & average-ish head retention
S: Tropical fruits, cakeyness & pineyness, some green melon & mangoes once warm
T: Plenty of pine, dryness & cakeyness up front, a little grapefruit as well. Dryness, pineyness & cakeyness rule the day as this beer warms up. Getting some guava at the end here in the finish as along with green melon, piney dryness & a touch of caramel
MF: Chewy, low carbonation, skewing a little hoppy
This a monster of an Imperial IPA, skewing very old school, fairly drinkable for the heft

Moderate amount of lacy white head. Translucent, deep, glowing medium orange look. Pineapple, guava and a bit of medium toasted malt aroma. Very heady and concentrated mouthfeel. Malt and mixed tropical fruit and orange peel flavors up front with a lasting, mellow bite.

Rather unassuming aroma: clearly hoppy, but a bit muddled. Candied orange, pineapple, mango, and pine, perhaps.
Really delivers on the palate, with huge, slightly boozy notes of caramel, white bread, sugar, papaya, mango, orange creamsicle, pine, and a light dash of kitchen herbs. Very low dankness - surprising for a beer which ostensibly drew from Captain's Daughter. A bit of banana and clove from the yeast expression.
A touch boozy, but an otherwise very approachable IIIPA. Ten years ago, a Triple IPA this smooth would have been remarkable. It's less rare nowadays, but still impressive.
This is a beer absolutely worthy of Grey Sail's anniversary. Fantastic offering, and I hope they bring it back at some point during the year.
