Taster at brewery. Hazy golden, ring of fine head. Juicy, fruity aroma with a hint of ABV. Taste starts sweet and is then overcome by a wave of bittering, resiny hops. Sticky. Almost creamy feel. Citrusy and tropical notes.

 

Golden color and clear. Moderate head.

Excellent malt foundation with a modicum of sweetness and alcohol. Mild hop comes across as white pepper spice.

The balance continues in the taste. Notable alcohol with a barely sweet pale malt base. The hop enhances the flavor with the countering bitterness. Modest aftertaste.

From a 16 oz. can sampled on Nov 10, 2021.

The appearance is golden in color with a slight cloudiness and a lingering boisterous white head. Good clarity.

The aroma is not in my face. I pick up a nice combination of tropical, guava, orange fruits and citrus or lime zest with a lower profile cereal grain and little to no booze.

Medium or slightly better mouthfeel.

It begins sweet with a little graininess until the burst of citrus and tropical juiciness kicks in to usurp the initial sensation. Smooth, mild-moderate ending. A low alcohol profile in the taste too although a bit more so than the aroma implied.

 

 

 

 

 

Only very slightly hazy golden pour with a massive sticky pillow atop that clings, retains, and laces a ton. Aroma of candied tropical fruits, mango, and some citrus pith. Flavors are intense and more herbal with onion and sweet malt hitting mid-sip. The finish is surprisingly clean given all that's going on here, mouthfeel is a pleasant medium, and the booze is quite well-hidden. Great TIPA execution, though wouldn't want more than one.

 

Poured into a 16 oz Snulip glass canned on 1/24/20. Pours a slightly cloudy dark orange with a 2 plus finger head that leaves thick rings of lace with excellent retention. 4.25

Smell guava, garlic, onion, tangerine, marijuana, apricot, and a hint of grapefruit rind. 4

Taste follows so much going on but very balanced guava, tangerine, garlic, onion, marijuana upfront with apricot and grapefruit in rather tame finish at 10%. 4.25

Mouthfeel is big, plenty of of life but still rather gentle, maybe a tad dry, and it goes down very easy at its size. 4.25

Overall this is really nice, not a true NEDIPA but a very tasty brew all around. I am looking for more from Liquid Riot Bottling Company. Only heard of them a week ago and 2 for 2 so far. 4.25

Pours a medium straw color, very clear, thick foamy white head that lingers. Great big hoppy aroma: loads of tropical fruit - mango, guava, pineapple, citrus. Big flavor as well - lots of tropical fruit, loads of pineapple and mango. Fairly sweet and viscous, surprisingly minimal bitterness. Great sipper. Overall a great triple IPA, definitely world drink again.

Look- slightly hazy golden color with thick pillowy head. Very nice sticky lacing.

Smell- grapefruit pineapple mango herbal notes

Taste- similar to nose. Pineapple grapefruit mango floral herbal taste follows.

Feel- very mild for high abv. Smooth silky with dry hoppy aftertaste.

Overall this is a crazy deadly triple ipa. Dangerous for the abv. Very good!

Hazed yellow-gold, sort of like a hazy tripel, with a big off-white head that lasts. Super heavy rings of lacing. A dank potpourri of smells: pineapple, pine, grass, mango, white pepper. Similar flavors. Sort of weedy, herbal and spicy. Mild grassy-chalky bitterness in the finish. Not at all sweet or syrupy for such a big beer. Very full bodied with some prickliness in the feel. Good stuff.

 

Moderate pour yields a 1/2 inch white head over a dark amber body with some sticky lacing. Nose of tropical fruit, pine, and citrus. Taste of candied fruit, citrus, and pine; dry with a pine resin finish. Nice feel and overall, a beast of an IPA. Somewhat gentle in a way, as it is fairly easy drinking, but the abv is ever-present and will kick your ass!!! Cheers!
