Misc.: Canned on Aug. 16, 2022; Split 4-pack with Dave

Met Dave H. out for some beers at North Park and ended up splitting three 4-packs. Didn’t realize this at the time, but had the two previous smaller versions of this, giving Sleep Machines a 4.25 on Feb. 5, 2021 and Sleepier Machines a 4.44 on Oct. 28, 2021. North Park’s website called it “You've had Sleep Machines and Sleepier Machines so it only makes sense that we had to give you "Sleepiest Machines" Triple Dry Hopped Hazy Triple India Pale Ale with Citra Incognito, Citra Cryo, Freestyle Motueka, Freestyle Nelson and Galaxy. This thick-bodied, mouth-coating delight is packing delicious tasting notes of strawberry jolly ranchers, redwood forest pine, white cherry gummy worms and orange sherbet soft serve. Trust us, you do not want to sleep on this one...”

Poured a bright light golden hazy color with 1-to-2 fingers of frothy off-white head. Could see plenty of bubble streams coming up along the sides of the glass. Very good spotty lacing. Very good retention. (Sight - 4.00)

Smelled awesome right from the get-go. In order got orange juice, Nelson, Citra, Galaxy, peach, passion fruit, pine, Frost Glacier Cherry Gatorade, orange creamsicle, tangerine, pineapple, floral, melon and mixed berry. Just about as good from the can. (Smell - 4.50)

Tasted almost as good as the nose. In order got Nelson, Citra, Galaxy, peach, passion fruit, pine, tangerine, Frost Glacier Cherry Gatorade, orange creamsicle, pineapple, melon, mixed berry and pulpy grapefruit. (Taste - 4.50)

Medium body. Creamy texture. Average carbonation. Long juicy finish. (Feel - 4.50)

Just another hazy banger from North Park. They can do no wrong with this style. (Overall - 4.50)

Sweet orange-tangerine citrus, white wine grape, and lemony citrus, hint of earthy nose on this one! Taste follows with an orange-grapefruit citrus and tropical hoppy bitter finish. The color on this one is darn near perfect! And, the mouthfeel is murky-soft and compliments the TDH here. I am having this two days after canning date, so it is just a tad hot with the hopburn at the moment...but, I know this will settle in with time! This has a great hop profile and this would have been a 5 star if the nelson hops were more pronounced. Delicious triple hazy!
