L - between pink lemonade and a murky DIPA

S - fresh ... botanical notes? Slightly earthy, very much plant-oriented with slight grape and pineapple

T - Like a refreshing DIPA with a grapefruit emphasis. I believe that comes from combination of citra hops and prickly pear. It has that same citra essence you'd expect out of the citra-based grapefruit west coast IPAs that were popular in 2015 or so. A welcome flavor in a world of hazy NEIPAs

F - medium mouthweel. Sightly cloy sweetness similar to ruby red grapefruit juice. Sticks to the and the flavor lasts as long as the feeling

O - A pleasant surprise from a big IPA - this is considered a triple IPA by Arizona Wilderness, I believe. It is deceiptively good - it has a fruit flavor, hop bittering, and is very drinkable despite the 10.1% ABV. I pick this up any time AZ Wilderness puts it out. I love how NE / Hazy IPAs are evolving but I love it when the attention is focused more on original styles; or even simply improving the west coast IPA.

Two of these will knock you flat on your ass, but you will be happy because they are absolutely delicious. Worth a try
