L: Poured from a tallboy can to a snifter glass. Had a dark orange-ish color and a super cloudy consistency. There was an inch of foamy fairly long-lasting head. Very good lacing.
S: A sweet and fruity aroma of hops, malt, citrus and tropical fruits.
T: Tasted of a mild bit of malt (not overly prevalent), lots of tropical fruit (papaya, mango), a bit of vanilla (just a hint), a fair amount of dank hops, and a lot of citrus (orange, in particular). Like the aroma, the taste is quite sweet and fruity. For a triple IPA, it's not swimming in hops, but rather it's dominated by fruit. Incredibly tasty.
F: A good amount of carbonation with a creamy, smooth finish. Medium-bodied.
O: A solidly made, enjoyable DIPA. Drinkable.

Bought a single can. Pours a hazy, dull orange. Smelled and tasted off. Just a big bunch of bad flavor. It can’t be that old (I’d say maybe a month) but this has either a problem from inception or has broken down to nothing good. The hair-art on the label has made this way more uncomfortable now. Drained.

Beautiful, cloudy orange beer with a dense white head that leaves a massive curtain of lacing. The beer smells lightly fruity with sweet caramel and both floral and piney hop notes. Sweet with overripe tropical fruit and caramel. Nice finishing bitterness and a little booziness. Pretty tasty beer.

16 oz can into chalice. Dated 11/16/18.
Look is cloudy golden light orange. Smell is mostly tropical fruit of papaya, guava. Taste follows nose and smooth. Feel is medium. Overall a nice IPA but nothing special and I would rink again but not seek out.

POUR: From a can into a nonic pint. APPEARANCE: Pours a deep orange which is very cloudy. Big white head and somewhat pillowy. Sustains that volume after settling. Moderate glass lacing. no visible carbonation. AROMA: Light and bright tangerine/ orange in aroma. Candy-like/ Bubble gum and somewhat defies the big ABV. Slight hints of grass. TASTE: Dank. Citrus. Orange crush. Very citrusy and clean. AFTERTASTE: On the lighter more delicate side. Very interesting for such a high ABV. Smooth. Finishes on the dank side. NOTES: Well crafted. Huge ABV but no hints of oppressive booziness. Light, dank and great balance. REVIEW/ RATING: Excellent/ 5 out of 5.
