Keep your eyes to yourself, and enjoy this big baby. Triple Hazy. Canadian Two Row, 900 pounds Malted White and Flaked Wheat round out the grains. Hopped exclusively with select Amarillo in the Kettle and dry hopped three times. 1st with Comet, then Citra and finished with Strata. Peach Candy and a mouthful of assorted Gummy Bears.

A: Pours a murky bright pale orange in color with moderate amounts of fine active visible carbonation rising along the edges of the glass and moderate apricot + peach + bright orange + bright yellow colored highlights. The beer has a three finger tall dense creamy sudsy foamy bright white head that slowly reduces to a handful of medium sized patches of medium thick film surrounded by a large patch of thin film covering the remainder of the surface of the beer and a medium thick ring at the edges of the glass. Significant amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Moderate to strong aromas of juicy citrus/orange + tropical/mango + citrus/grapefruit zest + tropical/passionfruit + stone fruit/peach + gooseberry hops over the top of light to moderate aromas of biscuit + oat malts with slightly heavier than moderate amounts of sugary sweetness.

T: Upfront there are just shy of moderate flavors of biscuit + oat malts with slightly heavier than moderate amounts of sugary sweetness. That is followed by moderate to strong flavors of juicy citrus/orange + tropical/mango + citrus/grapefruit zest + tropical/passionfruit + stone fruit/peach + gooseberry hops which impart a minimal amount of bitterness which fades away quickly leaving slightly stronger than moderate lingering tropical + citrus hop flavors.

M: Light to medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Moderate amounts of creamy soft/fluffiness mid-body and a hint of dryness in the finish.

O: Easy to drink with very well hidden alcohol and a very pleasantly creamy soft/fluffy mouthfeel. Enjoyable with lots of citrus + tropical + stone fruit + gooseberry hop flavors and aromas.

Picked up a 16 oz single on 8-4-22 from the Appalachian Vintner in Asheville for $6.87. Canned 6-12-22, consumed 8-21-22. Cold stored since purchase.

Beer poured orange as orange juice with a smallish head that dissipated quickly.

Nose is awesome, fresh orange and mango abound.

Taste is very good, with a delightfully light pale malt base that showcases orange, mango, and a touch of gooseberry.
Finishes with a balanced rind berry finish; 5/10 on my scale.

Mouthfeel is light and very refreshing.

Overall a well-made TIPA!
