This intensely hopped 11.5% ABV triple IPA is a huge beer brewed with pale malt and Dextrose sugar. Hopped with Warrior, Citra, Mosaic and El Dorado, this celebratory ale features a unique dry-hop aroma and flavor. Expect huge citrus, resin and peach flavors plus mild malt character in both nose and taste. Radegast is aggressively bitter and full-bodied due to its alcohol content, but it’s not sweet. This beer’s release commemorates the Grand Opening of New Realm Brewing Co. in Atlanta, GA.

The boozy overbearing taste makes this beer very undesirable. The scent and color I thought the beer was impressive but the boozy taste was too much for me

Big, old-fashioned East Coast hop bomb!!!! A nice change of pace for me after a bunch of NE IPAs and Sours. Pours a clear, dark gold color from a 32 oz crowler into a pint glass. Medium size foamy white head with good retention and thick bands of lacing on the glass. the hoppy aroma is prominent as soon as you pop the can open!!!! Aroma and flavor are mostly piney hops with a little grapefruit and pineapple in the mix. This is a hop bomb with very good bitterness!!! Mouthfeel is rich. Plenty of hop bitterness and an interesting mix of pine and citrus. The high .abv is hardly noticeable!!! A very good beer. Looking forward to polishing off the crowler tomorrow.

Appearance: Clear gold, pours to a frothy white head with good retention. Medium carbonation.
Aroma: Floral & herbal with some pine & light tropical fruit.
Flavor: Hop forward, alcohol noticeable & warming. Floral, spicy & resinous. Moderate to aggressive bitterness.
Mouth-feel: Full bodied. Soft and semi-dry. Bitterness lingering through the finish.
Overall: It was actually challenging to describe this one because there is such a burst of hops when you open the can, it seems more muted after a few minutes. Seems like most of the citrus/tropical fruit aromas fly out right away. Flavor is mostly floral, spicy and resinous. It is a big IPA, very hop forward with alcohol present and warming. The mouth-feel is full bodied. Actually soft, not drying. Made with Warrior, Mosaic & Citra, so if you love big bold IPAs this one it up your alley. Mosaic & Warrior hops seem to outperform the Citra.

New batch from the brewery bought 2/10/20. One of the better triple IPAs I’ve had. Pours with a nice head and great aroma. Hides the 11.5% ABV very well. No afterburn/linger that you sometimes get with high ABV beers. Had two on draft at the brewery and took home a 4 pack. Both didn’t disappoint. Fantastic beer.

From the bottom of the can, on the rim: "PKG 01/25/19 11:11"
Appearance: It is a cloudy beer with a medium gold color. It has a medium sized fluffy head that is slightly off-white.
Aroma: It has a nice juicy hop aroma that smells a bit like tangerines and grapefruit. It isn't a strong aroma but a nice one. There is a bit of a caramel aroma to the beer.
Taste: There is a nice sweet caramel and grain flavor mixed in with a bit of alcohol and pine. It has a very "East Coast IPA" flavor to it.
Mouthfeel: Medium bitterness with a medium body and a bit of slickness on the tongue.
Overall: It's a good Triple IPA and I would drink it again. I would recommend it to people who enjoy Imperial IPAs with a bit more of a sweet malty backbone.

16 oz can dated January 2019(?).
Partially hidden ABV.
Unusual but fruity aroma.
Citrus, including lemon, in the flavor. Moderately bitter for style.

First off this beer is not retired as I picked up a fresh 4 pack from the brewery in early Feb, 2019
L - Copper with clarity, 1 full finger of head
S - Citrus notes dominate, booze, and tropical notes. Great aroma
T - Citrus and bitter hops, floral tastes towards the end. Very tasty!
F - Medium body and carbonation
O - A hop bomb, to be expected from a Triple IPA.

3.49/5 rDev -14.9%
look: 3.75 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.25
Appearance: Pours a fairly clear, tawny gold body with nearly an inch of whitish, short-lived foam. Minimal lacing.
Smell: Humbles notes of tropical, citrus and stone fruits with some lighter, lesser touches of florals and pine and wild berries. A little bit sweetish and housing a stiff alcohol component
Taste: Candy-like tropical quality hinting of pineapple, pear and mango with some underlying pine and gooseberry. Burgeoning bitterness and plenty of warming alcohol, though that sweetness, like a toothsome boomerang, comes zippin' back at you as, one by one, the initial hop tastes fade away, leaving you with a mishmash of bitterness, alcohol and sugar.
Mouthfeel: Medium-plus body. Medium carbonation.
Overall: A big stew of sweetness, alcohol and bitterness.

Poured a slightly cloudy orange-gold body with solid head/lace. Aroma balances sweetness and earthy hops with just a hint of bitterness. Balanced beer, ABV well-hidden until this slightly boozy finish which is great, has a thicker, maltier body that adds balance to a piney, oily, earthy, slightly bitter hop bite.
