Ride The Tiger
FrauGruber Brewing

Pours a hazy, pale orange coloration with a small, fluffy head. Smells of light biscuity malt and tropical/citrus/stone fruit hops, with notes of passion fruit, tangerine and peach. Taste is a good balance of light biscuirty malt and fruity, juicy, quite floral and perfumey hops, with tropical, citrus and stone fruit notes of passion fruit, papaya, orange, tangerine and peach, as well as some potpourri. Finishes with a light bitterness and some papaya, peach and potpourri lingering in the aftertaste. Soft mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation.

I really need to stop buying IPAs brewed with Talus hops. Even though I like the strong peach/apricot notes it brings, absolutely cannot stand that distinct, floral and perfumey potpourri character typical of the variety as well. Even though Strata and Mosaic bring some nice tropical and citrus notes to the table here, that strong, floral character of Talus always seems rather dominant, somewhat overriding these notes, while I'm also missing the dank, weedy quality of Strata here. Especially considering this being a Triple NEIPA it seems strangely lacking in body and mouthfeel as well, almost feeling a tad watery.
