From a 16 oz. can dated 12/23/21. Sampled April 9, 2022.

The appearance is a milky, hazy, pulpy orange-amber tone underneath a long lasting cream colored head. Lacing.

The aroma is subtle but it might be because it is three months old. I pick up bits of orange, mango, and citrus aspects with a lower profile sourdough breaded note.

Smooth, medium mouthfeel.

The taste is sweet at first and then the juicy tropical fruits and citrus characters kick in. That is the main thing I will remember about it in the end.

 

 

 

 

 

16oz can into a pint glass. Canned 7/21/20, so a month old.

Standard NE ipa body, slightly dirty very hazy orange body. Small white head is very bright and persistent, though leaves little lacing.

Not much aroma to this one. A little dull fruit if I try hard

On tasting, the fruit is there, a fair bitterness and a nice hop hit. The abv is certainly there, giving the overall drink a vodka and orange feel.

Mouth between medium and full, finish a warm slightly bitter fruitiness.

Overall, very good beer, well crafted. Wouldn't say no to another. Does go down a little easier than the abv would recommend.

Fresh orange juice colored body; thick, frothy white head, long lasting. Outstanding fresh citrus smell; fresh cut orange. Immediate taste sensation of orange; notes of biscuit and oats; heavy but not overpowering alcohol presence appears near the finish. Heavy body; mildly tart and acidic; crisp and juicy; very mild boozy heat presence.

For a triple IPA, this has to be one of the tastiest, juiciest, freshest one I've experienced. It is totally approachable for a big beer. While there is no denying the alcohol presence, the fresh overall orange presence of the beer wraps itself nicely, comfortably around the ABV and brings a soothing quality to the entire beer. This beer beats the pants off so many other cloudy / hazy / NEIPA beers, especially the DDH varieties. I am bummed that I only acquired one of these beers. Well, this single exposure has been phenomenal...

16oz can served in a can-shaped Flat Stick Pub glass. Dated 07/21/2020. Bought it on Tavour.

Pours like orange juice, but less brightly colored and with a smallish cap and medium carbonation. Aroma is powerful, assaulting me at arm's length with orange, up close I get more mango or papaya or something similar.

Taste is surprisingly bitter up front, lacking a lot of the juice I was expecting, and with a really strong alcohol flavor. Another sip gives me a ton of resin and still a lot of booze. Bitterness, if inspected closely, makes me think mostly of mango skin and a little of orange or lemon pith. Keep sipping, and I can start detect a little bit of a flash of fruitiness up front before the bitterness blasts me.

Mouthfeel is thick, sticky, chewy. Overall...they went for big and bold, and they got big and bold, and if you want a big boozy bitter bomb you got it, but if you ask me it's kind of unbalanced. Not terrible by any stretch, but not fantastic.

Poured into a 13 oz long stem tulip glass canned on 7/21/20. Pours a hazy orange with a massive 2 plus finger sticky white head that leaves gobs of thick patches of lace as it slowly settles, with amazing retention. 4.75

Smell is guava, papaya, mandarin, ripe melon, buttery Chardonnay, apricot, and white grapefruit rind. 4.5

Taste follows guava, papaya, mandarin orange, buttery Chardonnay, cantaloupe, apricot, and a little grapefruit bitterness. 4.5

Mouthfeel is big, soft gentle carbonation, slightly sticky but not dry, and at 9.5% ABV extremely approachable and easy going down. 4.75

Overall this place has been on fire. Just an amazing NETIPA from Proclamation Ales. 4.5

 

I simply don't know how they hid the alcohol in their imperials. They do such a good job. Another amazing beer by them.

 

 

16oz. can served in my Spiegelau IPA glass. Pours a lovely burnt orange hue with a tight, half-inch, cream-colored head that slowly sizzles and pops as the head recedes. Clarity is slightly haze. Nose expresses notes of guava and pineapple. Taste follows nose with the addition of a honey sweetness and a light maltiness to the backbone. Finishes with just a kiss of pith to even it all out. Mouthfeel if light-medium in body with a pleasant, even carbonation and a hint of oiliness to the texture. Overall, one of my favorites form this brewer. Really top notch.
