Our 4th Anniversary Quadruple Dry-Hopped Imperial India Pale Ale was brewed with Pilsner malt, oats and wheat. We hopped it aggressively with Citra, Galaxy, Enigma, El Dorado, Mosaic and Citra Lupulin powder. The final two dry hop additions are just Galaxy and Citra Lupulin and Mosaic. Soft and juicy.
2023 release: What can we say? 4th Anniversary just keeps coming back for more standing ovations. Perhaps our most beloved Anniversary beer. Citra, Galaxy, Mosaic, Enigma, and El Dorado. Citrusy, creamy, juicy, grapefruit, bright.

Poured from a can (2/5) into a Teku
L: solid yellow/tan color, small white head that dissipates after a minute, minimal lacing
S: tons of ripe/overripe fruit (passionfruit, mango, papaya, citrus) with a slight sweet/boozy note, almost creamy
T: everything carries through in a very impressive way. Juicy and smooth, nearly creamy, with the slightest bit of bite at the end and a tiny hint of alcohol
F: soft, smooth, solid
O: just as I remembered, a great triple ipa full of those dank fruit notes I enjoyed

Growler from OH FLX 3 days ago.
Big straw/lemon gold hazy with 1/2 inch creamy white head. Dissolves pretty quickly with decent residual lacing. Somewhat subdued nose but a complex mash up of straw, grass, lemon, lime, dank integrating with grapefruit comes out as beer loses initial chill. Taste is more prominent grapefruit and dank though juicy melon, malty biscuit, citrus also show off. Body is a nicely smooth medium malty body accompanied by a refreshing bright carbonation. Considering 10% and content weight…surprisingly refreshing.
Overall a great heavyweight IPA.
Glad I could try it as “draft”.

Canned on 12/25/2025, Picked up today 12/30/2023 at Rockefeller center after fighting the crowds to look at a tree
Straw yellow body with some a bit of warm yellow orange if the light hits it right. White frothy head with nice sticky lacing down the sides. Nose is dank and boozy - grass, grapefruit oil, dried mango. Taste is bitter and boozy up front and then moves to the fruity mango, with very warm booziness at the end. Warm pineapple juice type sweetness, hoppy, thick and slick from the booze, this is not an everyday beer - but I don't think it's trying to be. What it is, though, is delicious and bold.

2023 Anniversary Version - Really good IPA - nice hope mix - excellent balance - next to no booziness for 10% (as is OH's way) - creamy with plenty of citrus backing - very solid.
