Pale amber, slight haze. Fairly big hop nose - some allium and orange, also herbaceous, with some biscuity pale malts. On the palate, gentle malt. The same sweetness level as their regular IPAs, but it works much better for a TIPA with lots of bitterness (Warrior & Columbus, yeah), and that alcohol sliding in. Very well balanced, and what I appreciate is that the allium doesn't come through on the palate. Aside from that bit of citra on the nose, this expresses the TIPA about as well as you can get.

Poured from 473mL can (pkg 01/30/2025). Clear yellow gold with small white head. Dank, mild resins, quite dry, not too boozy, well balanced. Enjoyable.

On tap at Bale Breaker - Seattle, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma is oily, with plenty of resinous hops, gentle dankness, and pine. Flavour is intensely hoppy, with dank hops galore, huge piney hops, resins, and just enough malt backbone. Bitter, oily, intensely hoppy. Absolutely fantastic, expertly balanced, and yet potent as hell. For diehard hopheads only.

From a 16oz can, deep clear copper pour, thin brief white head. Some light carmelized malt in the aroma along with smooth subtle piney hop character. More of the subtle smoth resinous hops and a full palate. Very nice.

Pint can. Deep golden orange pour with a large sandy head. Aroma is potent with hop octane. Sweet citrus and pine resin. Flavor is moderately sweet and the bitterness is well tempered. Citrus and pine abound, a little dank and a sturdy malt base. Very solid big beer.

Hop Mob at BPP. God amber mix. Good deal of green resin. Though most attenuated in my sampler. Some sweet hop flavors mixing with the resin. Love the lack of malt sweetness but not particularly enthralled with the hops.
