Bomber from the brewery shop; no bottling date and served barely chilled.
Pours a foggy, translucent golden apricot colour, producing nearly an inch of fluffy, soapy white head that fades off within a couple of minutes or so. It leaves behind a messy swath of sticky lacing as it is eroded down to a frothy, sudsy cap and collar. A little spicy on the nose, with hints of bell pepper and earthy, resiny hops mingling with stone fruit, grapefruit and berries.
It's not that bad, but it's not very good, either. The agave nectar is there, but not an especially assertive presence at first - I'm getting more grapefruit, orange and melon, with a fair bit of bready malt and syrupy, boozy sweetness mixed in. The agave does come through more on the back end, amidst a resiny, earthy, herbal hop bitterness that lingers into a boozy-sweet aftertaste with hints of peaches in syrup. Medium in body, with low carbonation and a slick, tongue-coating mouthfeel that is not particularly pleasing. I'll probably finish this bottle, but it's against my better judgment.
Final Grade: 3.33, barely a B-. It's weird to admit that I've tried hundreds of IPAs, and yet Wallet Chainz is only the second 'triple' I've stumbled upon. I wouldn't call it a rousing success, either - among other things, it's relatively thin, which is a complaint I don't think I've ever made about something that is 10%. All in all, this one just comes off as a bit crude, as if I splashed some tequila into a DIPA (and not an especially great DIPA, either). Not something I'd buy again; best to leave this brew as a one-off, I think.
