Collab with our good friends over at Percent Taphouse in Harrisburg, NC. Big, bold, and juicy, we swung for the fences with this one.

A: Pours a very hazy medium bright golden orange in color with moderate amounts of fine active visible carbonation rising along the edges of the glass and moderate bright yellow + pale golden yellow + pale orange + peach colored highlights. The beer has a two finger tall sudsy foamy white head that reduces to a medium sized patch of thin film covering a little more than 20% of the surface of the beer surrounded by a large patch of very slightly mottled very thin film covering the remainder of the surface of the beer and a thin ring at the edges of the glass. Light amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Moderate to strong aromas of juicy citrus/orange + tropical/pineapple + tropical/papaya + coconut hops as well as moderate aromas of dank/resinous hops. Light to moderate aromas of biscuit + pale + oat malts with moderate aromas of sugary sweetness. Light aromas of booziness.

T: Upfront there are light to moderate flavors of biscuit + pale + oat malts with moderate aromas of sugary sweetness. That is followed by moderate to strong flavors of juicy citrus/orange + tropical/pineapple + tropical/papaya + coconut hops as well as moderate flavors of dank/resinous hops which impart a light amount of bitterness which fades away relatively quickly leaving moderate juicy tropical + citrus + dank hop flavors. Light amounts of booziness in the finish.

M: Just shy of medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Light amounts of soft/fluffiness mid-body with light amounts of dryness as well as moderate amounts of alcohol warming in the finish.

O: Drinks very easily considering the strength and the alcohol is relatively well hidden with a decent amount of soft/fluffiness to the mouthfeel (especially for a pretty big TIPA). Enjoyable with some really juicy citrus + tropical + coconut + dank hop flavor and aromas.
