My my... that has quite the nose to it. There's a bit of grass to it, but also some pulpy, fleshy citrus. Likewise, in the taste. It doesn't feel like a 10% IPA, but it certainly does feel thick, substantial, and like it cannot be taken lightly.

Very good - a pleasant surprise!

Poured from the can into a Spiegelau IPA glass.

Creamsicle looking orange, with a slight opaque looking body, but all uniform and with a nice glow. Head is fluffy white, big and thick, reaching easily three to four fingers, with chunky and thick clumps of lacing.

Aroma is a wonderful citrus hop explosion. Spiced juiced mandarin orange, with sweet pulp, and zesty citrus oils and dried sweet rind. Has a mix of wonderful perfect sweet, bitter, and juicy fruit notes all at once.

Palate puts on the brakes a little, but in a very good way. Simple malt backbone with a touch of alcohol sweetness, but more impressively less of a boozy kick on first sip. A mid palate washing in soft orange pulp flavors. A finish hiting with leafy spiced herbs, touches a soft sage earth bitterness nicely. Stomach warming but, very controlled.

Quite an impressive controlled large beer, but sticks to a simple flavor and delivery, more so without being a booze out of control sugary mess.

16oz undated can.

Pours hazy gold with an inch of white fluff. Moderate retention with spongy lacing. Tangerine, pear juice, grape in the nose. Medium bodied with a tacky, almost crisp mouthfeel. Orange marmalade with fruit cocktail on the palate with minimal malt or bitterness. Finishes with shades of triple sec.

Pours a milky hazy orange with a 2F head and a lot of lacing.

Smells of slightly dank floral piney hops and citrus.

Tastes of grapefruit, orange, lemon and honeydew melon. It has a slightly bitter finish and hides its alcohol very well.

Medium light body with light carbonation. Slightly syrupy dry mouthfeel.

This is a very tasty and powerful brew! Well done!

You kNow I’m OK with it but it’s not driving me crazy I like the style And I wish I liked this beer more. I think it’s fresh but I wish I had a date on the cam to make it certain.
L: Drinking from the ken and the Can looks nice
S: Not an overly strong aroma. May be a little bit sweet. Hard to characterize
T: Kind of boozy and hot and not much else coming through. Some bitterness at the end. Not terribly enjoyable
F: Smooth and hot.
O: Not worth another try in my book. I hope you enjoy it more!

16oz can into a teku. Another of those Breweries whose can proclaims "drink this beer fresh", but then doesnt bother to date their cans.

Looks pretty good in the glass. Hazy dull orange body. Bright white head retains in excellent form throughout, leaving very good lacing.

Aroma a mixture of dull fruit and dankness.

On tasting, abv quite apparent, so significant warmth. Quite sweet and boozy, but a good hop prescence and some dankness.

Mouth close to full, finish a little drying, also sweet and boozy.

Overall, pretty good drink. At times you wonder if it's a bit long in the tooth, but then the dank dry bitterness kicks in.

L -- Golden orange with near total clarity and two fingers of off-white head produced with moderate pour. Good retention and lacing
S -- Definitely the most aromatic Foley Bros offering I've had to date, and also one of the most quintessential. Every Foley Bros hoppy beer has this distinct fresh rubber/new tire/new sneaker smell that is very pronounced. Also getting apricot, pineapple, peach, mango
T -- Yellow grapefruit, pineapple, unripe mango, green grass
F -- Medium+ mouthfeel, medium carb. Very drinkable for the ABV and not too sickly sweet like many TIPAs
O -- Definitely one of my favorites from Foley Bros. Wish they would start dating their cans, although I know this is fresh

16 oz. can.
10.0% abv.
No date, but just released last week.
Moderate pour yields a 5/4 inch white head over a bright golden body with sticky lacing. Nose of pine, slight tropical fruit, and slight citrus. Taste is mostly pine sap with a tiny bit of malt sweetness that counteracts the heavy pine bitterness which does take over at the finish. Some people don't love the maltiness in Triple IPAS, but I don't mind it at all. Some people don't love pine bitterness, but I don't mind it at all either. Nice feel and overall, I'd recommend this to anyone, just for the experience of a well made TIPA.
Cheers!!!
