L-Pours a hazy bodied beer that is straw gold in color. Probably a solid 4/10 in haze. Nice quarter finger head that lasts quite a bit with solid carbonation throughout.
S-Tropical fruit notes with emphases on mango and orange. A little bit of funky barnyard is there as well.
T-From the sip I get immediate sweetness. Notes of obvious citrus and tropical fruit. Mango and papaya are present, followed by a nice bitter bite at the end and some slight booze.
F- Heavy bodied with lively carbonation.
O-A really solid NE IPA again from Turning Point. Sweet, bitter and earthy. Would have again.

Wow. One of the more interesting mouthfeels on a beer. That is what stands out here - thinking you’re about to drink a triple ipa with a thick, pulpy mouthfeel and you are treated to a pillowy and airy libation. Very dry with faint disappearing notes of pear, pineapple, and melon rind. Low hop bitterness. A buttoned-up but not tricked up triple IPA.

4.59/5  rDev +7.5%
look: 4.25 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.75 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5
Look: Hazy orange look with a one finger head that lasts for about 5 minutes, max.
Smell: Very nice orange, grapefruit and pineapple
Taste: Outstanding - if you like fruit forward, less bitter beers, this is for you. Very smooth, no alcohol burn in this one despite the 10.5ABV and a sweet flavor that is far from cloying. Just really enjoyable beer.
Feel: Thick, and just what one wants when drinking something like this with an alcohol content as stated.
Overall: Outstanding. If you can find this (and it's not cheap at ~$20/16 oz 4 pack) it's worth a try. If you are into non-bitter hazies, this is for you!!

Had this on tap at our local World of Beer. Poured into a snifter. Bright golden hazy yellow color with good had and lacing. Sweet citrus smell and taste. Orange and tangerine. Sweetness was pleasant and not overwhelming. Bright hoppiness, very pleasant beer. Another excellent beer from this brewery.

Another fine example of an IPA from the good folks at Turning Point Beer, an Imperial, NEIPA, Triple or just experimental. Their typical look, juicy like orange, pineapple and grapefruit in color. This one has a slightly more hoppy aroma. The taste is very juicy and is maybe more pineapple than orange and intense with grapefruit. Subtle differences and very delicious. Mouthfeel is smooth and creamy, a real pleasure. Ten and one half percent ABV is largely unnoticeable. Overall another outstanding brew, not matter how you classify it. Turning Point Crew continues to tantalize the taste buds. Tremendous.

Milky pale yellow with a short, fuzzy but bright white head.

Dank resin pops first in the soft, bubbly light carbonation as spicy herbality somehow transitions to a slightly off-putting baby powder element?

The medium-light body has a semi-dry finish with a mild alcohol burn to it.

4.25/5  rDev -0.5%
look: 4.25 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25
Appearance: Arrives cloudy and goldenstraw colored with a thin cap that leaves copious lacing

Smell: Tropical fruit - papaya, passionfruit and orange

Taste: A solid malt bill brings some toffee but the tropical fruit builds with papaya in particular; passionfruit and orange, through the middle produces a moderately bitter finish

Mouthfeel: Medium to full body with moderate carbonation

Overall: Easily the best beer I tasted at Turning Point; while it is still a bit more malty than I prefer I liked the hop treatment
