Amber color with one finger head. Sweet orange and ripened grapefruit. Pith in the background. Candy malt sweetness, but its not overpowering. I can feel the booze now that I've finished half the bottle, but it doesn't taste like 11%. Tons of hops that balance the malt. Pine, resin, herbal flavors. I really enjoyed Pure Hoppiness, and wanted this to take that beer a little further but the flavor profile is quiet similar, at least from what I can remember. This is nice to try, but I see no reason to trade something good for this and pay for shipping when you can just drink Pure Hoppiness instead.

Before everyone was dropping orange ipas all over the globe, this was a triple ipa that still kicked down those familiar yellow tones. Mild 1/3" white head. Aroma was a lot of everything, sweet and hoppy, leaning a sweet citrus instead of the usual just massive grapefruit bitterness. Still crushes some tropical fruit notes in the nose too. Mango.

Taste is in that Pliny the Younger vein. 11% is hid very well, seems like they added sugar to dry out the body, hoppy, bitter, lush with green hop tones, still hittin the sticky dank fruit notes. Does it so well. Pricey compared to some other similar options, and also harder to get. So it is more available than Pliny, but also way harder to get than Boneyard Notorious or Lagunitas Waldo. But its in that mold. Excellent stuff, maybe we'll get lucky and they'll put it in 4 or 6 packs someday with the new Green Flash* model of Alpine ownership.

They list it on here as a Double IPA, but at 11% this is clearly more than that. But it drinks smooth and has a gorgeous hue about it that I could stare at all day. Very drinkable for the abv, but the booziness flavor did drown out the hops a little more than I would have liked.
