Poured 16oz can into snifter. A clear dark gold with streams of bubbles ascending to the 2 finger white pillowy head. Retention is good and leaves a cap with very thick lacing on my glass. Aroma is very fruity with some nice citrus and dank hops. Sweet tropical notes. Flavor is more tropical and juicy with faint notes of bubblegum and a bitter finish. Feel is medium with an oily feel, but slightly dry on the finish. This is similar and reminds me of Stone Enjoy By.

Canned 8/28/22 (2 months ago)
Appearance: Pours a clear, medium orange color with a strong and foamy white head. SRM of 9. (4.00)
Aroma: Milder aromas of grapefruit citrus, some pine. Resinous orange underneath. (3.75)
Flavor: Strong flavors of orange and grapefruit citrus, grapefruit rind with bitter pine. Leans dry and bitter on the finish. (4.25)
Feel: Medium-bodied, strong carbonation. Finishes bitter and dry. Just enough bitterness to invite another sip. (4.25)
Compared to Surly Shutter Shades 11/2022: Pours similar. Larger head. Milder aromas. More juicy and tropical flavors. Less sweet and resinous black cherry. Winner: Third Space
Overall: A nice Juicy yet West-coast IPA. I wasn't sure what to expect with this one. When it says juicy, I often think hazy, but this one definitely leans more west-coast. Nice flavors for West-coast and as others have said I can definitely see the similarity with Stone IPAs. Yet, this one is still more juicy and the flavors really come out as it warms. Juicy AIPA. Extremely drinkable and makes you want another sip. (Rating: 4.12)

16 oz can poured into a tulip snifter glass, canned on1-30-2020, purchased at Woodmans in Madison. A really nice beer from one of my favorite breweries. I wanted a Beer with a good DIPA boozy bite on the finish and this one delivers. Really juicy up front, pours slightly hazy but not an NEIPA by any means. Pineapple, passion fruit, maybe a little mango flavor wise. Deceptive smoothness for such a strong beer. Definetly recommend.

As good or better than any West Coast IPA. Sitting here under the influence of this stuff, the 8% ABV buzz is nice. Hoppy in a smooth, not bitter way. But not sweet either. Just very tasty if you like a hop forward rather than a malt foreword brew. I’m not a beer connoisseur in the way of those who can provide precise description, I just know what I like. This is it.

16oz, canned on 02-13-2019. A tall foamy off-white head rests atop a somewhat hazy but almost opaque tangerine colored ale; thick foam sticks heavily to the glass. Juicy tropical fruit hops fill the nose with mango, grapefruit, orange, and passion fruit along with a light caramel malt base. Great fruity flavors with a nice heft of zesty citrus; mango, passion fruit, pineapple, pine, orange, and grapefruit all come to mind. Malt is grain and caramel with a bit of honey-like sweetness. Full body, resinous and sticky, finish is bittersweet with citrus zest and pine lingering. This was really good. I've liked everything from Third Space so far. Keep up the good work!

Had on tap. This went down dangerously easy. Golden body with good carbonation, white foam a finger deep. Smells is fruity: orange, lemon, pineapple, pear, and mango, plus some lingering hops. Taste is the same, fruit is creamy and smooth, with the hops coming in on the finish, though pretty mild. Feel is a little thin, but plenty textured and refreshing, hides booze well. All around good dipa

Had on tap. This was my favorite out of three different IPAs in a flight. Nice citrusy aroma and flavor with a crisp malt backbone. Not too sweet or boozy.

This is a really good beer. I've always enjoyed both citra and mosaic hops, and this beer seems to be a very good combination of the two. I taste and smell more mosaic hops than citra hops, but that is just the way I would want it to be. Great aroma and great taste, not too bitter. Juicy as the can implies.
