This AA meeting is a collaboration between Acoustic Ales and Artifex Brewing from San Clemente. They call it a Triple IPA. A big whiff of honeysuckle and resins. Quite tangy and well carbonated.

Color is a dark orange amber with a very nice foam in the St. Bernardus globe. Distinctly malty, but more on the sharp side than the sweet. It feels like a hopped up Tripel. The long, fruity honeymoon slides into a dark, bitter finish. Ripe honeydew melon with burnt toast.

This is so mellow it's easy to overlook the massive alcohol content. The bitterness and sharp hop oils catch up eventually. It's a big mouthful of flavor but entirely sippable. The hop enthusiast will want to try this one. From the 22 oz bottle purchased at Barons Market on West Point Loma.
