Nice, this beer actually has some reviews. The majority these days seem not to. You love to see it.

Pours a honey like color. Just a bit heartier than a single ipa appearance. Its a thin head, around 1/4 - 1/3" at its highest point, regresses into a thin film of white head. The aroma hits some danky weed notes, nice mix of Citra/Nectaron/Nelson like impact even though its Nelson, Cascade, CTZ and Mosaic. Oranges, danky down under berries and fuzzies with a hit of garlic and onion.

The taste has a slight amount of interference, there is a perceptible bitterness and booziness that is competing with all those hop varieties. As the consumption continues, the palate adjusts and it starts to get much easier and less perceptible even as it warms. It lacks a heavy malt bill, its nice and deft with its barley touch. It brings just about every hop type of descriptor to it, tropical, citrus, dank, down under, weed, berries, melons, you get the gist of it all about now.

I'd definitely give it another whirl if I came across it.

 

2024 Batch! Sweet tropical hoppy, white wine grape, piney old-school hoppy, and a tropical-fruity Mosaic-dank nose on this one! Taste follows with a super-clean, piney-hoppy and dank bitter finish. Whoa...a nice and prominent, old-school bitter bite is large and in charge on the backend. As it warms, just a touch of boozy heat peeks out. This is good!

Nose is muted tropical fruit and pine resin. Taste is melon overload w/ some intense cat piss dankness and dripping pine resin. Punchy lingering bitterness. No hint of abv. This is a bomb of a west coast and really excellent.

Well, got this via LIF from @JayORear who tells me it beat Pliney the Younger in head to head tasting. I'll leave that distinction for those who have tried Pliney the Younger, but it is a really tasty WC Triple IPA.
Poured orange amber color with a nearly white thin head.
While it's not as "piney" as I generally think WC IPAs it's not lacking flavor. The hops in this are more complex than Pliney the Elder (which is a standard of the WC IPA style) - almost gentle as it's certainly not bitter like some hoppy beers. Smooth and really flavorful - pine, fruits but not citrus - more melon like. I'm really finding it difficult to define.
The feel was excellent. Well matched to the style and the ABV.
OA, I've never tried Pliney the Younger so cannot compare but I did try Lawson's Triple Sunshine and that one is my bar for triple IPAs. This one is good, maybe even great, but it doesn't displace Lawson's Triple.

Thanks, Cassidy, Chris.

A golden orange with a dense, white head, this looks great. The nose is excellent. Clearly a TIPA, but the hop profile is both, gentle and aggressive. Very fruity with a blend of pine, onion, grapefruit, melon and some honey. What's also lovely is the gently sweet malt backbone, unobtrusive but vital in such a hoppy beer. The palate opens clean, smooth, hoppy,and pungent, bitter and resiny. Grapefruit, pine, melon, mild mint, a little onion are present. Alcohol is shockingly well hidden. Mildly sweet in a way that enhances drinkability. Smooth, soft, creamy palate, just gorgeous hop expression. Long, bitter finish, bright and pungent. Delightful.

the 2024 batch is the TIPA of the season. Focused, quaffable, astounding. Upping scores to 4.75
