Gorgeous look on this 2x IPA. Tang like hazy glory with nice legs. Man that bouquet just slams you with tremendous tropical fruit with overripe papaya, Guava, cotton candy, some pineapple and banana mingling with crushable hops. The flavor falls off but only a little. Most of those notes are there and nice but the alcohol just gets in the way a little, blocking the nuances the nose.

 

On run to 35th St Ferry out of NYC, at Bread & Butter, best of the selection and a deal at $6 for a 9.4% DIPA.
a) Copper topped withr rocky head, slashes lace.
s) Pine, fresh sawn wood, floral, herbs, sunny coastal slopes.
t) Leafy, hemp, green grass, floral, dried herb, pine sap, and tangerine.
f) ABV hidden, oily, hempy brew.
o) One of the best.

 

 

This undated version clocks in with an ABV of 8 3%. Nonetheless, it has the same hops listing, so this should be close to the original. This experience is hosted by the emptying of a pint can into a clear Imperial pint glass. It's wonderful to behold a beer head modest in volume, yet enduring. The color is a pretty orange-amber which is cloudy, but bright. There's a good hop and malt mixed aroma to be had. Let's start with the malt body. It's above adequate and as earthy as it is sweetening. The hop profile runs from slightly dank at the onset, to dry and bitter at the finish. The entire hop experience is more piney than citrusy and that works well with the malt. There's just a little taste of alcohol and even less glass lacing. Overall, this is one fine DIPA, with a great bitter hop finish that should satisfy any hophead.

 

 

 

 

Pours a hazy orange color. A large billowing head retains well and yields lacing.

The nose opens with sweet malty notes of biscuit, honey and caramel. This is immediately followed by resiny and dank hops that exhibit fruity and floral qualities. Aromas of apricot, peach, mango, guava, pine and grass.

Taste opens with a firm malt backbone that evokes notes of biscuit, caramel and graham cracker pairs with a touch of sweet alcohol spices. However, it soon becomes increasingly resiny and bitter
as the hops take over. Juicy flavors of tropical fruit including mango, guava, and passion fruit coat the mouth. Nicely contrasted by notes of peach, apricot, floral spices, grass, and lots of pine and resin.

Full bodied but with a light on its toes aspect for easy drinking. The mouthfeel is smooth and the finish is dry with notes of alcohol spice and lots of resin. The carbonation is moderate.

Solid DIPA overall that is pretty easy to drink. I would have again.

 

Ok it’s ok but no way 94. Packaged 6/24/21 consumed 9/14/21 so fresh enough.
L: from the can and it’s fine nothing special.
S: tropical fruit peaches melon. Pretty nice.
T: this is where it loses me. Nothing to get excited about. Some peach that is not so pleasant. Then some bitterness. Just not feeling it.
F: ok fine I guess.
O: sorry but not worthy from my side.

 

6/24/21 can from Whole Foods on the UWS. Pours an opaque orange gold with a finger of rocky white head, nice lacing, smell is sickly sweet papaya, strawberry, kiwi, bubblegum, dank caramel, pound cake, taste is papaya, cantaloupe, egg tart, pound cake, hints of pineapple, guava, and coconut, feel is medium bodied, creamy carbonation, mild carbonic bite. Tropical fruit cake treat.

My first beer from Threes. 6-week-old can poured into a tulip.

Pale orange-gold body that's fully opaque with a nice glow, but has a light-ish haze relative to a lot of other 9%+ IIPAs. Finger of soapy eggshell head that falls quickly but has a nice creaminess to it, especially when resuscitated with a few swirls of the glass. Splotchy lacing. Really impressed with how long the "swirl provides creaminess anew" goes on, basically to the bottom of the drink. Past that aspect, it has a pretty typical hazy look.

The differentiation takes flight with the smell -- really unique and appealing nose. Lots of melon, grape, berries, muddled tropical and stone fruits, and some sweet tangerine. Dank, dank greens and a wonderful blast of green onion (which I'm a big fan of when done right) that meshes beautifully with the fruit medley. There's definitely citrus at play, but it's hidden behind the other, stronger fruit notes. Some nice bready malts to round things out. It's not a monstrous aroma profile, which is a bit surprising given the high ABV. But it's really damn good.

Taste follows pretty darn close, though the fruit flavors are much more muddled than the aroma notes. Pleasant but mild sweetness, with some starchy greens and a consistent green onion and weedy dankness keeping things in check. Some nice grapefruit pith on the tongue, with citrus making a bigger splash, the tropical fruits staying consistent, and the stone fruits blending into the background. There are floral and mineral notes on the back end, with a semi-sweet and semi-bitter finish. Nice pithy grapefruit aftertaste. Dangerously drinkable at 9.4%, as the alcohol is completely hidden save for some vapors off the burps. That changes a bit as the beer warms, but I would hardly call it boozy.

Nice creamy and smooth texture with appropriate carbonation and zero burn. Zero stickiness but nice coating, even if it feels a hair light for 9%+.

Really good beer that I will happily buy more of.

Nice golden orange hue with okay spotty lacing. Smells like a melon ball and gives me memories of Hurricane from TH. Taste gives off some bubble gum and melon with a touch of orange cream ice-cream backed by faint fruit rind. Not a lot of carbonation at all...semi flat beer which isn't my favorite.

Overall a really nice beer and one of the better IPAs I've had recently. Canned on 6/24/21 and comes in at 8.3%

 

Didn't pour it, but the can art is pleasant. And from the other attributes I assume its hazy.
Nose is a wonderful bright orange creme.
Taste follows with a bright orange juice flavor.
Mourhfeel is appropriately full with a redeeming tail end bitterness.
Overall this is a decent modern dipa. Heavier than I like, but if you like these full hazy dipas.this one certainly checks the boxes

 

 

A pretty plain IPA. Good but nothing spectacular.

 

Extremely dark golden with almost a bronze like density. Head it's thick and off-white like egg whites that have taken on a light hue of burnt butter.

Leafy, green grass, floral pine cone and tangerine-grapefruit, pink lemonade aroma. Becomes more tropical pungent as it warms.

Oily and med-full bod so a little heavy drinking, but paradoxically light as a cloud. Alchohol is hidden, moderate carbonation.

Citrus oils with a yellow skinned tropical fruit background; mango cream, guava, ripe peaches. Firm, mild-moderate pine bitterness with floral and earthy accents.

Single pint copped from Suburban Bar and Kitchen in Randolph. Pours a hazy golden hue with substantial frothing. Pungent aroma redolent of pear and anise. Complex mouthfeel with an awkward finish. Flavors pronounced yet unbalanced. A loose cannon.

 

 

 

I may be unfair here, but I had this beer on tap at Park Tavern in Delray Beach, FL. They usually rotate their beers pretty often so most likely the keg is less than 2 months old. The color was orangish with very little foam, not particularly hazy. The smell was muted with typical citrus but not much. Taste was acceptable but no discernment of hop flavors from the mosaic or simcoe. Honestly, I can pick 5 different IPAs off the shelf that are better than this. If I have it again and it improves I’ll update my ratings. For now, this was a big disappointment based on the ratings on Beer Advocate.

From a 3-week-old can, pours a deep, hazy orange. Big head of white foam leaves sticky lacing. Smell and taste are huge and complex, with tropical fruit, citrus, resin and strawberry. Pleasant drying bitterness in the finish. Excellent beer.

 

 

A: The beer is very hazy to cloudy murky yellow in color. It poured with a narrow collar of white bubbles around the edge of the glass and bits of lacing on the surface.
S: Moderate aromas of grapefruit and tangerines are present in the nose along with hints of pine.
T: The taste has flavors of grapefruit, mangos, and stone fruit along with hints of pine in the finish. There is a light to moderate amount of carbonation.
M: It feels medium-bodied and somewhat juicy on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer is packed with lots of juicy hop flavors and does a remarkable job at hiding any traces of alcohol from the taste.

Serving type: can

 

 

Had this on tap at the Moan and Dove. The beer had a murky orange appearance with a thick head. Aromas were strongly of grapefruit while the taste was this wallop of grapefruit, melon, and oranges. This was a dense beer in terms of mouthfeel. Overall, incredible taste and mouthfeel.
