Our bombastic triple IPA is bursting with the aroma of classic American IPA hops and a blast of new Australian hop varietals. Bootleg is here to detonate your tastebuds. Don’t be fooled by the light, crisp malt profile, this triple IPA is far from balanced – It’s all about the hops.

16 oz can from Tavour. Deep golden body, two finger foamy head. Bready, malty aroma gives way to some milfly biting hoppiness, but the caramel malts carry the day. Thick and rich

From can: pours gold with white head. Aroma is tropical fruit, citrus, soapy lemon, something very much like sorachi ace. Quite bitter... something you do not see that often anymore. Apricot and citrus and the like. Interesting but not my favorite.

Can at Hellcat Annie’s. Unclear orange color, strong off white lace. Drippy / streaky on the glass. Aroma of juicy hops and booze. Mango and pineapple. A little pine. Caramel. A bit too much booze for my personal preference. Okay, but kinda accentuates my issues with most 9% DIPAs. The alcohol overrides any chance of beautiful, bright subtly. 16 ounces later I’m just wishing I had a 4 oz sample instead of a whole can.

fat hos BlindaTigern. Ljus klar jävel. Känner tyvär inte doften då mild å andra dofter i vägen. Smaken kommer här. Omedelbart bärig lite söt å viss syrlighet. God Dipa som är lite för besk i förhållande . Ja men den gör sig inte i jämförelse med den från Other half.

Can, version 2, from Charles St Liquors refrigerator, drunk 12/20/15.
Clear, light bronze color shows light carbonation and a medium-sized off-white head that fades quickly to cover.
Pineapple, mango, light grapefruit and lighter, headier citrus notes (tangerine skin, orange juice). Light honey, biscuits and clean yeast round out the aroma with low alcohol apparency and no flaw. Pretty sniffable, not exactly deep, overly fresh or juicy like some of the best, but it’s not horribly resinous or dominated by pine/grapefruit.
In the mouth it’s lightly sweet, but well-attenuated with only biscuit and light honey showing from the malts. Not sticky, resinous or caramelly, so that goes a long way. Lightly catty citra hops, lots of pineapple and tangerine, with a bit of apple and pear. Herbs, leaves and other various goofy mosaic notes. Cherry sweetness on the end, with light alcohol warmth and malty sweetness. Moderately carbonated with a lightly bready to watery texture. For 9% abv it does well, but is certainly not among the top tier of DIPAs in New England.
