Pours a thick spongy cloud of pale gold.

Notes of grapefruit, cut grass, some of those conctrated hop powders perhaps.
Thick and chewy. A bit cloying.

Tasty overall. Definitely doesn't taste like a triple.

Poured from the can into a Spiegelau IPA glass.

Classic turbid but nothing too chunky looking in the body appearance. Dark custard yellow, hinting toward orange, with a super creamy bright white head reaching a good three plus fingers. Top is holding on thick like cake frosting. Big clumps of lace, and an aggressive chunky style.

Very fun hop aroma. Thick sensing with a big thick rich pineapple note with major dank earthy tones. Hints almost lactose and milkshake like but nowhere as sweet and much more pungent and earthy dense. Very enjoyable, goes for subtlety but with great reward.

Palate is a real nice fun romp. Dank and earthy, sweet and juicy all rolled into one. First hitting with tropical mushy tones of pineapple and melon sweetness, even hinting some vanilla in the mix. Chewy and juiced up body goes then for earthy and smokey pine like flavors also shortly there after. Rich earthy finish with a thick smoke and rich fruit flavors.

Excellent palate and feel, with a simple and enjoyable NEIPA like take on things. Nicely done.

Hazy yellow-orange, white head, decent retention, awesome lace
Really big hop aroma, with a melange of tropical fruits
Citrus and tropical up front turning resinous at the bitter end. Soft malt flavor
Pillowy body with lower carbonation.
While the hazy stuff isn't usually my jam, the bitter, resiny finish really makes this one pop.

Stunning lace and resilient pure white head atop a hazy electric yellow body. Nose is citrus and tropical with a touch of saltine cracker note. Well carbonated and very drinkable for it's high octane. A real strong medicinal and herbal hop attack but more targeted and not overwhelming. This isn't cheap for a four pack of tall boys, but it is definitely a solid effort from a local brewer.

Whoa! This is really good! Hazy starlight color with a nice frothy head ... Full body and flavor and an alcohol content that is completely unnoticeable. Yummo!!

Golden color, very hazy. Pours a nice sized white head, creamy and lingering.

Big pineapple/grapefruit/pine kind of hop aroma, and some dank solventy hop kinds of aroma. In other words, lots of hop aroma.

Lots of grapefruit and tropical fruit flavors up front. Hop fruity and slightly sweet at the start. Very gentle hop bitterness on the back end, and a sense of alcohol as well. Flavor is completely dominated by the hops, and fortunately I like this hop blend okay.

Medium body and carbonation. A bit of hop sensation (drying) on the tongue, but not really astringent. A bit of alcoholic warming.

Generally not a fan of this style, but know from recent experience that Silver Branch does them well for my palate. A bit in your face with the hops and alcohol, but suppose that is the point.
