6th Anniversary Triple IPA (hazy) with chit malt and a crazy combo of hops & hop products, including Mosaic & Citra Incognito, and all the Galaxy, Nelson Sauvin & Riwaka we could stuff into this thing.

Look: opaque almost orange juice. very tight one finger head.
Smell: exceptionally hoppy, oozing with tropical notes.
Taste: getting orange, pineapple, mango & grapes. A hint of sweetness balanced by the bitterness of the hops.
Feel: never heard of chit malt, but the wheat & malt give this an exceptional mouthfeel.
Overall: remarkable NEIPA this, 10.5% and you'd not know it by the flavour.
could use a tad more carbonation IMO.
Dunno why it's marked on BA as retired. The can is dated 08/04/2021. only about a month old.

Sweet-pineapple, tropical hoppy, white wine grape, and yeasty-dank aromatics on this one! Taste follows with juicy, grapefruit citrus and a prominent, hoppy-dank bitter bite. This lingers a bit on the back of the throat. This has decent depth and mouthfeel to it...I think it would fit my palate better if it was a little more chewier. This is good!

Terrific triple hazy, one category that ASB has locked down. Hoppy, pungent, but smoother than a lot of doubles.

Can from Lúpulo.
6 days old.
For the record this is a “triple neipa”.
Look: orange juice.
Smell: dank, stonefruit, bread.
Taste: wild combo of citrus and tropical fruits. Oranges and mangos come to mind. A dank grassy component. Some wheaty malt.
Feel: very juicy. No alcohol presence.
Overall: pretty wild. I don’t personally give much extra credit for cramming alcohol in undetected. It’s cool, but doesn’t add anything to the beer. In this case I like the beer for its busy complexity. It’s like a dank fruit smoothie with all the fruits. It borders on a malt bomb. It’s awesome now but in a month will probably be a malty dank mess. Presently not a mess.
