We have a tendency to go down rabbit holes around these parts. Triples, Quadruples, Quintuples... where does it end? That remains to be seen, but we do have this fluffy little number to catch you on the way down. Pillowy portions of some of our hand selected favorites: Citra, Strata, Nectaron & Cashmere. Sorry... where were we again?

No canning date
Appearance: Pours a nearly completely hazy (15% clarity) light and pale lemony yellow color with a moderate white head. SRM of 6-7. (4.00)
Aroma: Strong, aromas of orange citrus, grapefruit juice, tangerine, tropical pineapple.
Flavor: Strong flavors of orange, orange juice, tangerine, and blood oranges. Some tropical pineapple and melon. Finishes More sweet grape and citrus. Extremely juicy and orange citrus and orange juice flavor on the finish.
Feel: Medium to have your body, average carbonation, OJ and grapefruit tartness linger.
Compared to Phase Three/BlackStack Black Bouquet 1/2024: Pours lighter, milder head. Milder aromas. More OJ, grapefruit juice, and lmeon. Less white grape, guava, melon, and pineapple. Juicier and sweeter.
Compared to BlackStack DDH Loud Pack 1/2024: Pours lighter, milder head. Similar, but slightly less orange, pineapple, melon, and mango. More lemon and grapefruit juice. Slightly lighter and juicier.
Overall: Interesting name. No canning date, but extremely fresh. Nice hop profile listed above. Tons of OJ and grapefruit juice. Lemon and blood orange. It's citrusy, juicy, and lightly tart. Hard to imagine they didn't put add pure juice to this beer. Juicy if that's what you like. (Rating: 3.88)
