This can is marked as having 11% ABV.

Pours a lightly hazy golden color with a 1F head and heavy lacing.

Smells of grassy, floral hops with sweet fruit and citrus.

Tastes of honey, lemon, mango and pineapple with a slightly bitter, boozy warm finish.

Medium body with light carbonation. Lush, syrupy and oaty smooth mouthfeel.

This is a very tasty and powerful sipper. It's honey sweet, lightly juicy with a lightly bitter afterthought.

BBCO is the most underrated VT brewery. This beer pours & looks amazing. Smell is outstanding & gets better as the beer warms. Taste is incredible. No trace of alcohol which is dangerous for a 10% ABV beer. Subtle flavor of honey is awesome without being sweet nor overpowering at all. Very silky & smooth drinking. Notes of fruit mingle with the honey & all complement each other well. I’ve tried BBCO petal prophecy & Beekeeper (both BBCO honey infused beers) and this is way better than both. The other main competitors for this type of honey infused beer (IMO) are Hoof Hearted zipper ripper & Bells Hopslam. But this blows them all out of the water. I wish I could buy & drink this every day. I only bought 2 cans & am trying to get more. If you can get this beer buy as much as you can because it will not disappoint.

I received this beer in a bottle swap. It pours a very cloudy pale orange color, a decent head that receded to a thin layer with decent lacing. There’s a lot of tropical fruit in the aroma which follows into the taste, definitely orange, some grapefruit, and I’m sure others. My palate isn’t developed enough to distinguish them all. It is a very pleasant drinking beer, I’m not a big fan of NEIPA’s but this is very nice! And has been mentioned before, very drinkable, perhaps too drinkable, for its high ABV.

A: Pours a hazy yellow-orange color with 2 fingers of head that fades down to a thin cap that leaves good lacing

S: Tropical fruit and citrus up front along with some honeyed malt sweetness. Some lighter floral notes as well

T: Follows the nose. Starts off with a mix of the citrus and tropical fruit and then picks up some floral notes and residual honeyed sweetness. Finishes with lingering citrus and floral notes

M: Medium-full bodied with moderate carbonation

O: A very good TIPA that is scarily easy to drink. Extremely well balanced. Definitely worth checking out
