Time to review a RateBeer inspired beer on untappd's purchase. Pours a golden color, relatively bright, looks like this is going to be a minimal malt quotient triple ipa, which is always nice if you've paid your dues in hefty caramel laden dipas during the tour of duty ibu wars. Decent clarity, 2/3" white head. Its a good appearance.
The aroma is draped in 4 different hops, but I would say only Mosaic and Citra are the aroma hops, but in far less quantity than the bittering hops. Smells nice, but more evocative of grapefruit than tropical or sweeter citrus fruits.
Taste and mouth feel really pushes the El Dorado and Simcoe hops. 95 ibu sounds all heavy these days, but it wasn't oppressive at all. The light body didn't result in a catty out of wack beer, actually seemed to make the ibus firm, but not excessive. Ample notes of pine that supplant the grapefruit notes as the most prominent. Its a nice easily acquired buzz in a can.

L: Mostly clear amber gold with a really nice thick head that left tons of nice lacing.
S: Nice familiar citrus/piney hop aroma. Can't tell it's a triple here, maybe even just a bit light.
T: Again citrus fruits, a bit more prominent than in the aroma, with the piney notes to balance.
F: Medium-full, good carbonation, on the sweeter side, decent bitterness but lower than expected.
O: Solid West Coast triple IPA. Drinks pretty easy like a double.

Tasting notes from 05/12/17
Had on-tap @ Claimstake Brewing in Rancho Cordova, CA
Appearance - Served up in a snifter, clear and pure gold in color with a white, thin layer of suds sitting on top. Good amount of lacing. Thin sheeting sheeting that breaks up into some broken webbing and small spots.
Smell - Citrusy, slightly piney with a mild bready undertone.
Taste - Follows the nose. Citrusy notes of orange and grapefruit with lesser pine and spice. Simple bready sweetness adds balance. Bites with grapefruit zest near the finish before dying to a pithy bitterness lingering in the aftertaste.
Mouthfeel - Medium to full in body with moderate, tingly carbonation. Slick texture, turns crisp and fairly dry in the finish.
Overall - A really solid 3x IPA, but nothing particularly standout. Their "Ain't Gettin' Any Younger" was much, much tastier.
