3rd Anniversary Ale
Burlington Beer Co.

 

 

This can is one month old today! This beer looks like the rest of the NE style juice bombs with a white head that sticks around leaving some nice lacing when consumed! The smell is cracker malts, stone fruits, citrus, pineapple, and some pine. Yup....the taste definitely matches the smell! The feel is soft, a little bitter and very slight alcoholic burn but neither are bad! Overall this beer is great! Cheers

 

 

 

 

The appearance was a hazy burnt pale yellow to orange color with just a film of a little white foamy head that trickled down the glass as it fell off. The aroma had some orange pulp sweet to glossy sweet and semi-zesty sort of grassy bitterness. Sweet dried leafy stickiness flowing over some damp floral hop quality. The flavor was moderately sweet with the rolling orange pulpy juicy sweetness flowing over the herbal portion. Semi-smooth sweet orange to grassy sort of aftertaste riding into the finish. The palate was medium bodied with a fair sipping quality about it as I could feel the projected ABV and yes, it did feel as what the brewer said it was. Overall, really nice DIPA that Burlington did pretty much everything they said they would in this beer.

pours out a beautifully hazed golden orange color, finger and a half of soapy bright white head leaves awesome lacing. aromas of candied peaches, bubblegum, orange, grapefruit, mango, sweet creamyness, doughy. palate follows for the most part, doughy malts in the background supporting a massive blast of sweet & creamy hop saturation - orange creamsicle, nectarines, mango, melons, hint of lime and some subtle green herbal notes, peppery spice, just a touch of pine comes through at the end to provide some necessary balance. scary lack of booze. so soft and smooth, mouthfeel is on point. this is easily a top triple IPA for me, one of the best!!

This pours a hazy and milky looking orange, with a half inch head and lots of lacing.

This smells like peach creamsicle, pineapple, tangerine, and heavy duty pine resin.

You can sort of tell this has the booze of a Triple IPA, but it's mostly hidden, which is awesome. It's got a tremendous resinous and woody bitterness, maybe a bit leafy- it tastes like just pure hops. It's also insanely juicy and tropical, with pineapple, peach, tangerine, grapefruit, etc. I usually have a mild disdain for triple IPAs, but this is phenomenal.

This has a really creamy and full mouhthfeel, with a good level of carbonation. This is oddly drinkable.

This may just be the best of this style that I've had, and the best from this brewery.

Served on tap at the brewery on the day of release.
Pours a beautiful cloudy milkshake of medium straw/medium to deep yellow with one finger of thick head.
Aromas are incredibly dank deep tropical fruit, weed, citrus.
Flavors are glorious...a lot of mango and citrus, not orange juice, a bit more complex...lots of dry hopping here. Low bitterness on the back end.
Mouthfeel was incredible and perfect.
This beer is everything you want in a huge Triple IPA. It's glorious.
