A 12% Triple India Pale Ale brewed in homage to personal rapture. German Pale, some Caramel, 2-row and ad hoc fermentables weave into Blanc, Simcoe, Denali, Equinox, Hop Dust and in-house tricks. The color of honey. Flavors of mango, tangerine, sweetness, dank stink and scant booze. Aromas of citrus, tropical punch, herbs and the raw wonder of low-tech hand carved IPA.

Tasted at The Big North 2 at the Half Acre Beer Company on August 19, 2017. Pretty smooth for a beer with this much alcohol. Highly recommended if you can find it.

Had this on tap at Half Acre. This is a great triple IPA. Often when I've had a really strong triple - the booziness overpowers everything. Not the case here. Hop profile comes through, and it drinks smooth. Sure, you can tell it's strong, but it's still pretty drinkable.

This is a triple IPA that is so smooth and drinkable, it's scary! Pours clear, not too heavy on the malt, right amount of carbonation/head. I lovingly began referring to it as 'Big John' (as the pint glass emptied far too quickly)...
Must try!
