Outstanding beer!
I've had this both on-tap (Hop In Brew, Calgary) and in a bottle.
Malty and sweet but packing a huge hop flavor, with some bitterness to balance the sweet. Thick mouthfeel, tight white foamy head. Alcohol is present on the tongue, but so well disguised. My idea of heaven in a glass.

355ml bottle poured into tulip 21/11/15
A slight haze in a bright yellow body, very slight haze with jut a few slow tiny bubbles popping up here and there, short lived finger of foam leaves a couple random patches
S pineapple juice, passion fruit, lime, has a nice tropical thing going on, a hint of pine, not a complete hop runaway but its pretty lopsided and that suits me fine, has a bit of a booze sting holding it back
T lots of lemon rind and even more booze, some sweet malt trying to shine through, a step back from the nose
M heavy side of medium, more bubbles then I could see, has some heat going down with a strange rindy, grainy finish
O its a massive DIPA and it shows, if the booze was in check this one would be great, I thought the nose was solid but it couldn't follow through at that level
I'll give these guys some credit for brewing a giant brew for their first attempt at a hop bomb, she comes in a little boozy but a few tweaks could work wonders, I'll be looking for more from this local for sure

355ml bottle - wow, a double (or maybe triple) IPA (my longtime favourite style) coming from (sort of) my hometown - nice. I wonder if the 'Triple Summit' referenced here is the Three Sisters mountain range on the way into Banff National Park?
This beer pours a clear, bright yet pale golden yellow colour, with a thin cap of weakly foamy, and mostly just faintly bubbly dirty white head, which leaves some low-lying, rearing swamp monster lace in places around the glass as things slowly bleed away.
It smells of leafy and piney hops straight off, grainy caramel malt, very saucy tropical fruit, a twinge of biscuity toffee, weak and watered-down seeming citrus notes, and a sort of hovering metallic alcohol measure. The taste is gritty, grainy caramel malt, Yuk-a-Flux made with more tropical than domestic fruit, muddled pine forest floor esters, a gritty chalky stoniness, and more leafy, floral, and way-too-perfumed boozy notes.
The bubbles are pretty understated in their plain and hard to pin down frothiness, the body a solid, if a bit tacky medium-full weight for the style, and smooth in a boozy margarita sense (reference not for everybody, I see that). It finishes sweet, caramelized, fruity and hot - that north of 20-proof alcohol not to be denied.
I hate to say it, but this feels (and tastes, and smells, and, well, yeah) like a disjointed version of the style that I adore so very, very much. Maybe aiming for such a high-test version right off the bat wasn't such a good idea - there's a lot to like here, it just needs more to pull it all together than an overarching booziness.
