Medium amber hue; thick carbonation with lots of particulates bouncing along with the bubbles; thick, white head, sculpted and creamy. Big sweet malt and old citrus smell; honey, caramel, orange. Sweet taste yet more delicate than the smell would suggest; orange and lemon undercurrents; strong hop bitterness, phenolic. Heavy body; thick and almost syrupy; a bit of alcohol warmth.

This is a great looking beer yet its age is starting to show. There's a bit of staleness to the taste. Also, the residual sugar feel in the body seems a bit overbearing with heaviness. A decent enough beer and, perhaps, better when fresh.

Wicked cool artwork, but can't give extra points right out of the gate. We'll see.

Pours dark gold, slightly clouded. Decent head, really, for the ABV. Excellent lacing.

Aromas of grapefruit, faint pineapple, and faint mango. Lots of resin and grass in the background.

Not as malty or sweet as feared. Initially, pIneapple and grapefruit with a little peach and white grape give way to pine resin for miles on the back end. As the brew warms, a bit of a briny or even soy (?) salty presence manifests, but not in a bad way at all.

Not heavy at all. Just beyond medium bodied. I can't in good conscience use the word "refreshing" or anything similar with this level of assault, but it's remarkably easy.

Not a world beater triple IPA but really good, and hides its crushing ABV well.

Pint can with cool artwork, poured refridge cold, gingerly, into a Great Divide Brewing snifter.
Nice foamy head lingers & laces.
Smell is a tad odd.,. hmmm.,. diaper bin. Cleveland in September, a Miami juice bar’s juice machine leftover pulp.
Taste is grapey fruit, mango-y papaya, no big hop hit,,.. then devolves into a funky aftertaste and acidy burp.
Feel is pretty thick and obviously lactose driven. Chemically developed to make me think this is, say, Atomic Resin., but it falls way way short.
Overall - An 11% TIPA that’ll getcha buzzed, but bigger isn’t always better. Unfocused, too much going on.,.

Poured a cloudy orange-gold body with more of an orange tint and solid one-finger head. Citric and floral hop notes mix with tropical fruits in the aroma. Smooth, yet also slightly sticky, with a medium-to-heavy body that is filling and has a great tropical fruit sweetness. Beer has some citric hops with no bitterness and finishes clean thanks to well-hidden ABV.
