16 oz can from Tavour. Dark hazy golden pour, thin foamy white head settles down to a patchy layer. Overripe fruit in the aroma, apricot, melon, papaya. Taste is fruity and juicy, tropical, stone fruits, then introduces a sizeable bitter bite that dries it out. A lot of action up front, but finishes quick.

On tap at Ale Arsenal. Served in a tulip glass.
4/4.5/4.25/3.75/4.5
Murky gold. It smells juicy and delicious at first, with garlicky-pine Simcoe underneath. Huge and hugely hopped.
It's a massive beer. A really nice TIPA. It's sweet (should be) with brilliant fruity-hoppy notes and aggressive earthy bitterness that take over and see the (sort of brief) flavor out. Citra then Simcoe seems to be the order of the day in this beer.
Overall, this is an exceptional beer that avoids all the pitfalls of the triple IPA genre-- cloyingness, booziness, abrasivenessness.
Perhaps it's just the really nice hop bill, but I'm a fan.

Sometimes the tastebuds need to be rattled by a boquet of hops so mighty you can only think Final Final!
Looks like a nice cali golden IPA
Dank alert as the oxygen around you is fortified with battling hop aromas you immediately think, no way the taste can do it justice, breath in the hops.
Bam bam hops rattle the top of your mouth penetrating through your nasal cavity. Citra? Mosaic? Both!!
Enough carbonation to have you sitting upright for your next drink of this Hop Bomb.
This IIIPA is fantastic, Alpha Acid has entered the realm of Hopdom @ Toronad SF. Keep brewing!
