Pours a hazy orange, nice lingering white head leaves some decent lacing. Nose says citrus as do the taste buds. Smooth, creamy texture, nicely carbonated. If it wasn't for 10.5%, I'd think this was fruit juice.

Pours tan orange with creamy foamy head and lacing. Citrusy notes of orange, grapefruit, and tangerine are strong on the nose. Also comes through strong on the flavor, with a bit of white grape juice and lemonade presence and some dank grassiness and bitterness. Medium bodied, good alcohol presence, creamy and thick. A bolder example of a Triple IPA. I had a Phase Three In Threes last night, and I’d say they’re equally great Chicago area Triple IPAs and beers anybody should try if they want a good idea of Chicago beers.

Canned 8/17/20; drank 8/28/20 @ Hannah's.

Opaque dark orange appearance.

A rough pour yielded a huge eggshell head; a thick curtain of frothy lace.

Honey, orange peel & dry wheat notes in the nose.

Medium thick, creamy mouthfeel.

Honey, cream & orange citrus flavors up front; tangy grapefruit & dry wheat notes on the finish. No booze heat.

It was a bit too sweet & tangy for me, but it was certainly drinkable.
