Concocted from the cozy confines of our respective sanctuaries as part of the Collab from Home series with some buds we wish we could be breaking bread and sipping suds with right now: Fair State Co-op, Forager Brewery & Modist Brewing. We know we’re kinda beating a dead horse here, but we used a lot of hops in this one. Mosaic, Strata, Cashmere Cryo & Experimental HBC-692. We kept it under 10% because everyone know single digit beverages are fair game during the workday.

Pours a hazy golden straw color with a thin white head. Smell is floral juicy and tropical.Taste has citrus,melon, passion fruits ,papaya and dank herbal notes . Mouth feel is juicy hoppy and more dry than sweet in finish . Had an herbal dankess that was off putting tom (a little) ABV well hidden .

Down to my last can and realized I hadn’t ticked this yet. Still drinking amazing, if not better than fresh. White head. Lace. Hazy golden orange.
Very tropical. Orange, mango, melon, papaya, honeydew, and some grapefruit citrus. The abv is hard to find. So soft. Very little bitterness for how big this beer is. BS is the king of triples.

No canning date (released on 5/13/20, so presumably canned within a week of that date)
Pours an opaque, dingy lemon gold body capped with over two fingers of foamy white head; decent retention leaves a thin veil of cap, a thick, frothy collar, and a minimal array of spotty lacing.
Aroma brings an assault of potent dank guava and lemon pound cake sweetness upfront, with subtle wisps of garlic in between; gooseberry, waves of resin, melon rind, pineapple, cherry esters, and hints of mango compote all alternate among touches of booze throughout the remainder of the bouquet.
Taste opens with candied peach rings highlighting a tropical introduction as sweet malt and cherry essence establish a presence upfront; the mid-palate softens steadily, offering more nuanced notes of guava, mango, blueberry, and melon rind, while revisiting the initial sweetness with a unique pineapple upside-down cake finish lingering.
Mouthfeel features a deft medium-light body matched with moderate carbonation and a light resinous is texture underlying through the mid-palate; an inherent juicy quality bursts from the background and negates any alcohol presence on the back end, remaining partly slick along the tongue, consistent and soft on the swallow.
While first impressions indicate a wildly intense brew, there's a welcome restraint evolving steadily against the outright sweetness otherwise dominating the profile, leaving a plush TIPA, still both intense and sweet, and yet comprehensively well-tempered; needless to say, drinkability is extremely high considering the ABV.
