Picked up a 16 oz mason jar draft at the Craft Beer Quick Stop on 12-1-18. Consumed on 12-5-18.
Beer poured a hazy orange with a beautiful white head that is leaving some lacing behind.
Nose is nice, tropical and citrus are present.
Taste is well balanced between the large but light malt base and the grapefruit, orange, and mango. Finishes with a slight rind bitterness.
Mouthfeel is light and refreshing for such a big beer.
Overall a nice Triple IPA that has some really good qualities!

Poured from fridge temp. Pours a nice hazy orange with white head. Nose is resin, grapefruit, lemon, grass, tree sap, and a bit of funk. Taste is awesome - better than the nose in my opinion. Tons of complexity and super flavorful. Getting a slight hoppy bite, but tropical fruits dominate. Getting mango, lemon, orange, and definitely some grapefruit peel. Resin is coming through. Super refreshing. Mouthfeel is nice and creamy, and the alcohol really doesn't come through. Overall, a great beer.

Picked up a single 16oz can for $5-6ish, normal pour into a Monkish Teku produces a normal creamy colored head, body is cloudy and hazy with a copper tint but not full and milky, looks slightly watery still
Smell is lighter then I’d expect for a triple dry hop, maybe it’s already old I didn’t find a date, light hints of citrus and cannabis but not much else
Taste follows, slightly bitter still but seems to have lost the main citrus character, balancing off the malts now it’s still not bad, just missing something, but I must say they hid the ABV incredibly, no taste of booze whatsoever.
Mouthfeel is still light, not silky like I associate w/ the style, and carbonation didn’t seem to hold very well even with the normal pour.
Overall I wanted to love this beer since it wasn’t cheap and I usually like everything else from Novo, but I think I just got to it a little too late.. (not to throw shade but how much did they really dry hop? For x3 it’s a bit light, just sayin)

No canned date
Appearance - Pours hazy and dark, rustic orange with an off-white, near finger width head. Decent retention, resulting in a thin, broken layer of suds. Lacing consists of broken webbing, lines and small spotting.
Smell - Moderate aroma, but the nose is equally as citrusy as it is tropical. Orange, guava, papaya, grapefruit, leafy character and a hint of dank.
Taste - Follows the nose. Citrusy and tropical qualities upfront and throughout with light earthy leaf and dank flavors riding beneath. Ripened orange, papaya, passionfruit and guava. Fair notes of white grapefruit comes in mid-taste. Spice hits mid-taste. Juicy, spicy finish with a bit of accompanying dankness.
Mouthfeel - Near full-bodied with light carbonation. Slick texture before a mostly dry finish. Drinks well enough for a 9.5% brew.
Overall - A really solid hazy triple. Interesting blend of citrus, tropical fruit, dank and spice. For the price though, I'm glad I bought a single can and not a 4-pack. Regardless, Cheers!
