Pours a deep and opaque dark orange with two fingers of white foam. Great retention. Aroma is RIPPING tropical fruits. Tangerine, pineapple, and guava all hit in bold statements. There is some heavy banana at the onset too. The initial thump of tropical fruits is left to simmer on the nose, decaying slowly, encouraging a sip. Flavor profile is big banana, with tropical fruits layered underneath. Tropical fruits are mashed together, but not quite muddled. Papaya, orange zest, and pineapple create the tropical fruit notes. Some hop burn at close. Mouth feel is medium-thick with a fine chalky grit to the texture. Overall, smooth with massive and driving hops.

Draft. Reviewed from notes.

Pours an opaque, pale golden peach hue capped with two fingers of fluffy, white foam; good head retention leaves a slight layer of pillowy cap, a moderate, frothy collar, and a drippy spatter of spotty/webby lacing trailing down the walls of the glass.

Aroma opens with an underscore of hop resins engaging spiced papaya and a rich tinge of orange cream; mango compote evolves over a mid-palate laden with tropical undertones while lemon zest and soft grass being further depth to a vivaciously tropical bouquet.

Taste shows grapefruit zest evening sweeter mango peel and citric clementine, with edges of herbal grass and sweet-dough malts revealed over the mid-palate as intensely resinous tropical tones persist, peaking on the finish with subtler tones of of lime, passionfruit, and overripe guava.

Mouthfeel brings a medium body and a fluffy carbonation on the higher end of moderate, a soft grit enmeshed in a deft hop twang displayed over the mid-palate as a juicy brightness adds a glow into the back end while a vague bitterness is intertwined with the finish.

A resinous, tropical intensity flourishes across the profile here, with a level double dry-hopping a catalyst for semi-sweet expression and juicy brightness exemplified in NEIPAs of this ABV; big all-around, yet highly drinkable all the same.

Sweet pineapple juicy, tropical hoppy, white wine grape, and hint of citrus-boozy nose on this one! Taste follows with a juicy tropical fruity hoppy and grapefruit citrus-dank finish. This has a darn near perfect mouthfeel...there is just a hint of boozy heat that shows up on the backend. This is really great!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Really hazy peach color with off-white foam. Aroma has subtle yet elegant fruit notes with lots of peach and tangerine nectar. Taste is sweet and juicy, mellow fruit notes like ripe melon and peach, almost no bitterness, just a light grassy note on the finish. Medium body and carbonation. Am extremely drinkable triple IPA.

 

 

 

 

Oh Citra and Nelson....Pours a turbid straw yellow to light orange or as the haze boi’s say “orange juice” like. Nose has a slight bit of cracker malt and a whole lot of citrus and tropical aroma. Taste is a bit bland at coldest temps but given time to warm up, look out! Full of citrus notes. Both pith and juice. Grapefruit, orange and lemons. Nice mellow notes of pineapple, mango and guava take center stage. It’s a bit boozy at warmer temps but that is also where the most vibrant and bright fruitiness comes through. Rich creamy silky body with that ever so slight hoppy finish.
