I shared a can of this beer with my old hockey teammate and good friend "Sixx" whilst in Chicago for a Pucks for Autism Tournament. It poured a hazy orangish with white head that is leaving some lace. The scent had dank tropical fruit flare. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with pineapple, apricot and other tropical fruit presence. The mouthfeel was medium in body and had good carbonation. Overall it is a solid beer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rough pour gave a 2 finger head that dissipated after a few minutes. Smell is really good, typical tropical fruits of a hazy. Taste is nice, citrus fruit forward that is quick to leave the palate. A lingering boozyness common to doubles, which I dislike, meant I rated this overall low.

 

Really liked this IPA from Phase Three. It was not overly sweet like many IPAs are. This one has a very big orange profile. Almost like orange sherbet. Hazy with a nice dankness to it. Phase Three really hitting on all cylinders with this one.

 

 

Poured into Phase Three glass. Pale yellow/orange. Thick fluffy head and long lasting lacing. String hoppy citrus smell with notes of orange, lemon, grapefruit. Taste is much more subtle with those flavors than the smell would indicate. Mostly sweet, a little hop bitterness on the back end. Mouth watering, mouth filling, medium body, mild alcohol presence. Good example of the style-big hop presence but not overwhelming.
