This monster Triple IPA is aggressively dry hopped with Citra and Mosaic hops. Put your taste buds in a figure four hoplock and make them tap out!

Love an IPA with a solid ABV. The beer was a nice amber color. The hop taste was crisp and did not saturate the tongue. The feel was smooth rather than syrupy, the way some IPAs taste with higher ABVs. I would like to do a taste comparison with Lagunitas Waldo’s, to decide which is my favorite beer!

Beautifully clear light amber body; lively carbonation; thick, dense and creamy, sticky white head; dense, tacky sheets of foam clad the glass. Rich malt smell, heavy sweetness with a touch of caramel; spicy, pungent hop presence. The taste plays off the smell; rich caramel and crystal malt notes; spicy hop bitterness; healthy boozy note. Heavy, sticky body with plenty of residual sugar presence; generally warm and dry between the malts and the alcohol content.

This is definitely a triple IPA, and it's done well. Rich and complex with a bold hop statement evident with every sip.

Smell- Citrus, pine resin, slightly dank.

Taste- Pine resin, bready, citrus, slightly boozy.

Feel- Thin body, high bitterness, astringent/boozy finish, average carbonation.

Overall- West Coast IPA with a boozy finish.

12oz can from Tavour. Bright golden pour, mild haze, two finger head. Sweet, hoppy aroma. Resiny hops flood the palate, juniper, pine, woody. Clean, crisp, sticky. A hop lovers dream.
