Snuck over to North Park and Pure Project to track down some hazies to take with me in a few weeks to Colorado. This one was labeled on Untappd as “The robots have been working overtime brewing up all this haze and they are getting really tired! Not to worry though, they finished our latest Triple Dry Hopped Hazy DIPA "Sleepier Machines" before their much needed nap. We hopped this mechanical marvel of awesomeness with three doses of Citra Lupomax, Citra Incognito, Motueka, Galaxy, and Freestyle Nelson Sauvin that are working in perfect unison to deliver notes of citrusy cannabis, lemon drop candies, purple passion fruit, and fresh-squeezed lime juice. Mr. Hop-Fu could use his powers for evil, but he has decided to use them to create a delicious instrument of haze, so we advise you not to "sleep" on this one because the machines won't be asleep forever. This apparatus of amazement won't last long!”

Poured a light golden hazy color with 3-to-4 fingers of rocky-to-frothy white head. Could see plenty of bubbles coming up along the sides of the glass. World-class uneven foamy lacing. Almost-perfect foamy retention. (Sight - 4.75)

Smelled pretty damn good from the first sniff. Got a healthy dose of Citra, Galaxy and Nelson (not much Motueka). Also grapefruit peel, pineapple, passion fruit, gooseberry, white grape, peach, apricot, dank weed, pine, lemon drop candy, citrus zest and a touch of coconut. Just as good from the can. (Smell - 4.50)

Tasted Citra, grapefruit, pineapple, Galaxy, passion fruit, gooseberry, Nelson, peach, apricot, citrus pulp, dank weed, pine, wet grass, gooseberry, lemon drop candy, guava and papaya. (Taste - 4.25)

Medium body. Creamy texture. Average carbonation. Long, juicy finish. (Feel - 4.75)

Damn. Just an awesome beer. Another hazy banger from North Park. (Overall - 4.50)

4.44 | 98 | A

Appearance: Arrives a cloudy honey color with an impressive head that sticks well and leaves squiggles of lacing

Smell: Dank, with lemon, passionfruit and white wine grape tones

Taste: Dank and floral with strong lemon and vinous white wine grape elements; the passionfruit and citrus build through the middle, with moderate to high bitterness in the finish

Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate to high carbonation

Overall: My first beer from North Park and it is a good one

Sweet white wine grape, lemony-orange citrus, and Nelson dank nose on this one! Taste follows with a floral orange-grapefruit citrus and hoppy bitter finish...as it warms, the citrus hoppy bitterness becomes more prominent. Some may find it too "green", but I love it! Ha! This is pillowy soft with a nice hoppy bitter bite! Outstanding!
