Triple India Pale Ale Hopped with Citra, Azacca, and Simcoe Hops. Collaboration with Barrier Brewing Company.

There is a DASTARDLY hippopotamus who was last seen reportedly bouncing from establishment to establishment, screaming HOORAY at unsuspecting patrons, who just want to enjoy a good brew or two..We’ve been trying to apprehend the culprit with our fam over @barrierbrewingco, but we need your help!

Suspect is highly TRIPPY and armed with FRESH beer cans of this delicious brew. With huge notes of stonefruit and bursts of apricot and nectarine aromatics all swirling through a sky of smooth hop accents and balanced bitterness, this gem has a dangerously clean finish.

Drinking out of a tall snifter.
Pours a slightly hazy yellow with a thick full head.
Smells of luscious strong tropical fruits.
Full mouth feel.
Very tasty. Lots of fruit, little bitterness.

16oz can from Tavour. Hazy pour, yellowish hold, small foamy head fades. Tropical, fruity aroma, white bread. Taste brings grapefruit, melon, biscuits, pineapple. Thick, smooth, creamy.

Passionfruit, lime, pine, lychee, candied mango and pineapple. Interesting beer and very smooth. Alcohol is present on the nose, but for a 10 percenter, it's not rough on the palette by any means. Definitely worth a taste.

Poured from a pounder can into a Dogfish Head tulip

L: Thick hazy medium golden pour. Massive fluffy white head leaves fantastic lacing.

S: Rich and fruity. Grapefruit, mango, and papaya.

T.F: Somewhat sweet to start. Big and thick. Loads of fruit. Grapefruit, orange, papaya, mango, peach, and pineapple. Fruity hop salad. Creamy and smooth body... and somehow hides its ABV. Minimal bittering... more fruit/citrus to finish.

O: An outstanding triple IPA. Dangerous... and not nearly as boozy as it should be. Really enjoyed this one.

Had on tap. Super cloudy pale orange, minimal lacing. Citrusy notes of pineapple and orange on the nose, follows through on the taste with a sweet tanginess. Medium bodied, mildly boozy. Interesting.
