Gluttony Triple IPA overindulges the palate with profound malt, powerful hops and abundant body. Its deep decadent golden orange color presents an appetizing invitation for extravagant enjoyment. Its aroma entices with citrus, pine and alcohol while the flavor provides a smörgåsbord of sweet malt, fresh tangerine/grapefruit and a resinous hop character that lingers well beyond the finish.

Hazy copper and super amber coloured body with a ruby and peach glow, all with a two centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of alcohol, bright grassy, piney hops with a lot of alcohol and a touch of apricots, peaches and pears - nice and pungent throughout. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong rich hoppy flavours dominate with a lot of grass and resin, some pine and a bit of a citrus note near the end, along with a big malt backbone, along with a floral and dry/woodsie flavour near the end. Aftertaste shows a lot of pungency, with the alcohol showing up at first along with a big malt presence, some lighter fruit sweetness and then a ton of residual hoppy flavours that have a big bitterness, still. Overall, a nice and deeply pungent beer, but that was to be expected at 10,5%. A nice offering, full of flavour in the right dimensions with perhaps too much resin and pine and not enough complexities, but pretty good overall! I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Whole Foods in New York (Bowery), New York on 18-June-2015 for US$13,99 sampled almost exactly two years later a few hours before leaving for New York again on 07-June-2017.

Bottle thanks to Shawn! Pours a near clear amber with a slight red hue and a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of sweet grains with some bitter citrus and a bit of light pine backing. Flavor has more pine with a strong sweet grain backbone and a bit of a citrus bite underlying.

Hazy amber beer, good cream colour head. Palate is smooth and semi dry, reasonable fine minerally carbonation. Light malts, fair bit of caramel and cream and an underlying bitter toffee streak. Spicy orange marmalade with thin pine. Back to the creamy malt sweetness before a dry hop spicy finish. A rich DIPA but I would have liked more hop complexity.

Bottle at RBWG ’15 Grand Tasting @ Coppertail, thanks to Craig for this one, 21/02/15. Rich amber with a big old beige covering. Nose is rich malt, caramel, grapefruit, light spice. Taste comprises pine, apricot, mango, sweet licks, caramel malt. Medium + body, fine carbonation, sweetish close. Decent number, drinks a little like a barley wine, hops subdued but still a good sipper.

Bottle shared during the RBWG 2015 Grand Tasting. Pours hazy orange-gold with a creamy cap. Ripe citrus fruits dominate, with some dank hop punch, bread, mild caramel. Full bodied, somewhat chewy, with fine carbonation. Warming finish, resinous, with pale bread sugars, ripe orange, slight brown sugar. OK, just a bit heavy handed.

rbwg2015. Bottle, courtesy of Sledutah, pours with a hazy brown body that supports a light tan head. The aroma offers up thick malts, molasses, brown sugar mixed with hard candy clementine and mango and pineapple as well as soft candied floral hops. Smells inviting. The taste delivers thick smooth malts, molasses and a wide load of malt sweetened pine and floral hops that are rimmed with various citrus and tropically fruity notes. Solid.

Bomber from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours very, very hazy copper with a slight off-beige head. Aromas of barley wine with lots of resin/citrus - quite sweet. Full bodied or nearly. It begins with a burn on tongue tip. Think it’s hop, cause the heat is pretty much lost in one of the hoppiest things I’ve been aware of. Flavors go pretty citrus, seemingly including rind. How do we know this isn’t an overly hopped barley wine? Does it matter? Damn, but this is strong, bitter and hoppy. Finishing so hoppy it seems dry, though with all the malt it maybe shouldn’t be called dry. Wow.

Tasting at Matt’s
Cloudy reddish amber color, small head. Full bodied, rather sweet, with strong candyish caramel flavor, strong bitterness, some orange taste.
Finally, not a bad beer, but it tastes like an aged/old beer.

Bottle - Caramel and sweet orange. Cloudy orange with a decent white head. Orange peel, candied orange, caramel and a long finish. Not bad.
