poured from a 16oz can into a stemless wine glass. pours a hazy orange with almost three fingers of fluffy white head. dank weed, citrus and grass / grass vegetation on the nose. taste follows with a slightly vegetal hop finish. medium-full mouthfeel that’s smooth and fairly creamy. it’s a great hop combination and P3 pulls it off quite well. it’s also pretty easy drinking for 8%.

 

 

 

Pours a hazy, thin orange juice with a one-finger, white, fluffy head.
Orange, tangerine, melon in the nose. Slight Dank of garlic and onion. Fresh, juicy hop. Slight pepper.
Nice citrus hop on the front. Slight spice, pepper, vanilla. Nice bitterness still maintaining balance.
Silky mouthfeel with slight resin on finishsticks around.
Has a little bit of everything, nothing overwhelming.

 

 

16oz can, undated, released on 08.25.2020, poured into a stemless wine glass.

The beer pours a very hazy and turbid orange color, amber hues with a finger of white fluffy head that has moderate retention and great lacing. The aroma is great, super dank and grassy, grapefruit peel, valencia orange and pineapple juice, earthy pine, very floral with sweet yeast, pale dough and mineral water. The flavors are good, juicy orange and pineapple, lightly floral with a very grassy, green and dank earthiness. Modest pine, but lots of grassiness, almost to the point of being herbal with the floral character while a nice sweet yeast and doughiness balances things a bit. The mouthfeel is good, coating and creamy with a nice medium body and a dry bite at the finish.

Verdict: A very nice IPA from Phase 3. The aroma is amazing, super juicy and dank, well balanced and very inviting and the beer is nicely bitter and has a great green, raw hop earthiness.

 

 

 

Tasted in a Spiegelau IPA glass from a one pint can in June 14, 2019. Double IPA brewed with Galaxy and Citra hops. Notes of passionfruit, orange pith, tropical fruit and dank hops.

 

 

 

Yet another winner from Phase Three. Looks like an orange cloud with light foam and lacing. Mildly dank notes of grapefruit and orange, slight bitter hop background. Taste is similar-citrusy, juicy, a bit of piney bitterness that I wasn’t expecting but is entirely welcome. Medium body, very mouth watering, really well rounded. Maybe one of their better ones because it isn’t entirely a juice bomb.

Pours a murky, completely opaque, matte brownish orange color. Beer appears thick and sludgy. Thin off-white head dissipates quickly but not quite completely.

Aroma has pungent aromas of peach, orange, clementine, some hop notes come through on the back end. As the beer warms up it takes one a kind of sweet orange creamsicle aroma.

Taste has notes of orange, peach, mango, and clementine. Somewhat sweet, with a mild bitter bite on the back end.

Feel is thick, sludgy and pretty smooth. Mildly carbonated.

Overall its a nice NE style IPA - fits the style quite well, but has nothing to really set it apart within the style.
