This triple New England style IPA is loaded with three American "cheater" hop varieties: El Dorado, Citra, and Mosaic. We call these hops cheaters because they're just so dang good that they make it almost too easy for the brewers. For this blend, we led with El Dorado, using this orange and citrus heavy hop in greater proportions than Citra and Mosaic. These cheater hops produce a tropical nectar of mango and citrus, with some dank undertones creeping in from the Mosaic.

juicy, creamy feel, leads with the booze but that booze comes incased in a piney hop shell. very creamy with average carbonation, you can pound this one down fast, and that is dangerous at 10+ percent...

enormous can

Pours hazy golden, white head is pillowy and finely textured, slowly dissipates to suds.

Aroma of fresh citrus and zest, tropical notes, floral and herbal tea, and zesty hops.

Flavor of bright citrus and tropical fruits over sourdough bread malts and zesty and herbal/spicy hops.

Full body, tingly carbonation.

This is very enjoyable and drinks pretty smooth. Doesn't quite feel like its strength. The carbonation is undercut a bit by how difficult it is to pour out of this huge can. It's impossible not to spill pouring from it unless you pour kind of rapidly which blows out the body a bit. Shame that the can actually negatively affects the experience a bit. But it's definitely worth trying, little to complain about honestly.

Opaque bright yellow with a pearl white head with spotted lacing. Smell is full of ripe fruit: mango, orange, pineapple, lemon and grapefruit with airy floral hops. Taste is more dry, has some booze leakage, with the same fruits but more zesty and rind centric, with floral and grassy accents. Just has a hollow center between the hops, malt backbone is very thin. Otherwise feels airy, juicy for the very beginning, and very bright.

Look: A rather unappetizing cloudy, pale yellow. Two fingers of thick, soapy white head with good retention.

Smell: Strong floral, resinous hop scent.

Taste: Tropical fruit, lemon, grapefruit, guava, strawberry. Mild piney bitterness with a tangy finish.

Mouthfeel: Thick and creamy, with mild carbonation.

Overall: A fantastic juice bomb that could help ease those who prefer less bitter beers into the IPA world.

Oil can from Tavour. Hazy, milky yellow with a persistent skin of head. Pungent hoppy, citrus peel aroma, a bit of burn. Taste stings from the start, bitter grapefruit peel and some alcohol warmth. After your palate settles down, you'll discover juicy citrus flavors and light floral notes, along with a nice creamy feel. At 10.2%, you'll definitely feel this one.
