Only time for a short review but I realize it's not too helpful to add a beer without comment. This is a massive but utterly drinkable "triple ipa" that has a hugely hoppy aroma, very fruity and tropical, but the caramel sweetness from the nose continues into the taste.

These guys did an awesome job building a big time hoppy beer that has a lot of hop character but low bitterness, completely masked alcohol at 11%, and an appealing sweetness that stops short of cloying - much better in execution than many east coast analogues.

Medium full bodied with moderate carbonation; only very slightly sticky. No lingering bitterness. An experienced drinker will sense the heft of this beer even if you don't taste it. I wouldn't call it crushable or whatever we're saying these days but you could put back a good deal of this before you realize the damage you've done.
