We can already hear you saying, "everything in this beer is My Exact Style". A delicious Triple India Pale Ale that's more than worthy of spending your per diem on. If you love the extreme end of the juicy hazy spectrum then get on down here. The triple dry hopping pattern crisscrosses and overlaps, featuring Citra, El Dorado, Strata, and Idaho 7 hops - absolutely nuts, and we promise you won't have to fight over 4-packs.

Pours hazy yellowish gold, nice white head. Good retention and lacing. The smell is pungent citrus and dank pine. The taste is creamy citrus and resin. The feel is smooth and well balanced for a triple ipa. Overall a very nice beer!

A - Dark opaque golden orange pour with dense, bubbly creamy bright white lacing.
S - Slightly weedy dank apricot, tropical fruit, citrus, peach and pineapple.
T - Nice and dank with spicy citrus rind, peach, apricot, pineapple, tropical fruit, sweet red grapefruit, and ends on the sweeter side with an ever so slight tropical fruit / citrus bitterness.
M - Big medium body that's pillowy soft and chewy with a slight bit of warming from the ABV.
O - This is a rock solid NE style T-IPA, glad I bought a 4-pk. Recommended.

Admittedly, I bought this one to keep the can, pipes screensaver? Hell yes. I am relatively young but I distinctly remember staring at that MF while forming core memories, and I just genuinely love this artwork because of it. It made me very happy that this beer was wonderful to match the artwork.
16 oz can acclimated to 50°F and poured into an IPA glass.
Pours ultra hazy, in a color I searched "orange shades" and it matches pastel orange very well, nice color, it's a color I'd paint my walls, both warm and gentle. Produces a 1 finger foamy, almost white head, leaving a fine film of lacing that slowly retreats to a ring and patchwork.
Initial aroma is grapefruit oil, orange or tangerine juice, a mostly hidden, slightly medical smelling alcohol and light pale olive green resinous hops with some pine. Fresh, juicy, and sharp, it smells like fruit pulp feels.
After agitating, the herbs amplify, attaining a slight medicinal herbaceous quality, similar to what you'd find in Jägermeister. Additionally, the alcohol gains power, and more of that medical/rubbing alcohol smell I often notice.
Initial taste before swallowing is an alcohol burn and taste, pineapple, orange, cherry, a high dose of sweetness that feels both malty and fruity, and later, a slight medicinal herby taste.
After swallowing I'm first met with a lot of grapefruit rind, which remains a steady stream. Moderate to high sweetness is present through the entire process, balancing a somewhat(?) high hop bitterness, which feels grassy and bright, although slightly like burnt marijuana. Lemon rind becomes apparent in the beginning of the second sip, and fades right before the mild aftertaste. Strong alcohol warmth develops at the beginning of the aftertaste, joining the still present, though mellowed grapefruit rind, and a dry and slightly astringent bitterness.
Mouthfeel is a exemplary for the style. Thick, smooth, juicy, fuzzy, and frothy, again I have to note that it feels pulpy. Seems, like others like it, to almost fold over itself like lava does. Really impressively satisfying feeling.
Overall this is a truly impressive triple IPA. I'll note that it seems gentle for a triple, particularly in hop intensity. I welcome it personally, and I can say it's the only triple IPA I've truly enjoyed. Not a large diversity in flavors, which to my tastes has been the norm in double and triple IPAs, but that's no negative. I will say that what I did taste was repetitive for a hazy, and it was a little boring, but still absolutely solid and good flavors, i don't want to detract. Looks like gentle sunshine, tastes like strong sunshine, I would call it joyous. I found the mouthfeel to be just great, and sublime for the style. I have struggled to finish 16 oz of double and triple IPAs in the past but this one was no trouble at all.
Unrelated but I do believe this is the first time I've rated every category the same number in beer advocate. Matched the average user rating exactly, too. (At the time of rating)
Very likely to buy again! Not often, but I like it! I will also certainly recommend it.

Poured into a 16 oz Snulip glass canned on 2/14/23. Pours a very attractive orange yellow with a 2 plus finger sticky white head that leaves a wall of lace, with excellent retention. 4.5
Aroma is mango, peach, mandarin, apricot, and some grapefruit rind. 4
Taste follows mango, peach, mandarin, apricot, and grapefruit bitterness. 4
Mouthfeel is above average, soft carbonation, not sticky or dry, and at 9.6.% huge flavor but rather easy going down. 4.25
Overall this is tasty, just nothing making it go over. Worth a try for sure. 4
