L: pours a yellowish/orangish haze with a superb look.
S: I get guava and tropical fruitiness with some dank hops.
T: brings home the tropical fruit taste without much alcohol which is impressive for a triple.
F: medium mouthfeel that is soft and not very dry on the finish but is very clean.
O: Excellent one here, I absolutely love a triple hazy and this one delivers big time.

Great name, fits the appearance of the equal parts chicken/turkey broth and a slight 1/4" white head. Aroma is guava like tropical fruit up front.
Taste is mildly sweet, smooth, but tropical more guava going. Its not really a citrusy kind of vibe, its all equatorial fruits and shit. I'm amazed how the flaked base seems to make this not bitter and as if its only session straaangth abv going on behind the scenes. These guys make some killer triple ipas. While its not like the legendary Extremis, it is kind of like benevolent overlord, but maybe with some lactose in this one Its not milkshake like sweetness, but I can see/taste it here to push the beers smoothness along.
This is another tallboy can you can crush while outdoors doing your thing. I pretty much always pick up a 4 pack when its available, even though its a price I don't like to pay. Gets the party started right quick, nice for weeknight basketball games.

I find this beer to be stupendous. First things first, it glows a gorgeous orange like Ginger Rogers after getting a fresh press. I mean, we are off to a good start. On the nose is huge, Raul is talking Shaquille O’Neal sized tropical fruits that are rich and robust like fatty Arbuckle’s waist line. But I know you are thinking, “Raul, what about the taste?” Yep, this thing delivers like Yasiel Puig nailing a noob at the plate with his righteous cannon.

Murky, pale gold with a white head that leaves spotty lacing on the glass. Smells like grapefruit, orange and lemon with a dank hoppiness. Sweet and medium bodies with overripe oranges and grapefruit pit. Pretty bitter finish. Hides the booze well for a 10% beast. Really solid beer.

Canned 2/20/18; drank 3/2/18 @ the Yarchives.
Opaque orange appearance.
A rough pour yielded a big white head; a thick curtain of lace.
Orange citrus & mild dry grass notes in the nose.
Soft, medium mouthfeel.
Orange citrus, mild cream & faint grapefruit flavors up front; mild dry grass notes on the finish. No booze heat.
Balanced & dare I say elegant; this isn't over the top (especially for a "triple" IPA) and was quite enjoyable. I'd have another!
