We proudly present Forest Guardian, a murky triple IPA that will stand up to the biggest of beasts. Much of its flavorful force is derived from a global medley of hops including Strata (Oregon), Mosaic (Washington), Pacific Jade (New Zealand), and Hallertau Blanc (Germany). Aromas of ripe papaya, orange marmalade and dank emerge from its murky golden appearance, along with flavors of resin, cantaloupe and clementine. Don't let the smooth, medium body fool you—this triple packs a punch.

Went over to Pure Project a few weeks ago to pick up a 4-pack of this and another 4-pack.

Poured a golden hazy color with two fingers of off-white-to-white frothy head. Pretty calm setting underneath the head. Perfect spiderweb foamy lacing. Almost perfect foamy retention. (Sight - 4.75)
Smelled Strata (and strawberry), Mosaic, floral, rose blossom, dank pine, Hallertau Blanc, melon, cantaloupe, papaya, pear, hints of banana and viney berry. Just as good from the can. (Smell - 3.75)
Tasted a tad better than the nose. In order got Strata, viney berry, dank pine, resin, Hallertau Blanc, melon, cantaloupe, orange peel, strawberry, Mosaic, floral, rose blossom and pear. Pretty smooth for 9.5 pct. ABV. (Taste - 4.00)
Medium body. Creamy texture. Average carbonation. Smooth finish. (Feel - 4.25)
Outstanding beer overall. (Overall - 4.00)
