Vague soft malt and hops, rather subdued. Okay medium clear copper and little head. Flavour is subdued maltiness, simple hops, alcohol is invisible. Full mouthfeel. Uninteresting save for the fact that the high alcohol is invisible with the exception of a nice warming effect.

12oz draft, Devil’s Elbow. Slight haze. Medium head. Big c hoppy nose - that grapefruit and pine, pretty fresh and bright, showing a lot of lemony accents and some thick earthy notes. Strong, thick and rich chewy malts. Lots of bitterness, too. It’s a big beer. Is that a hint of diacetyl late? Probably...howe sound will do that...but it’s getting bludgeoned by malt sweetness. Seems balanced (as triple IPAs go) but not necessarily my snifter of choice - their BW and Impies would come ahead.

On tap at Bitter Tasting Room. A little dirt fruits in the intensive aroma. Quite dirty taste. Hard to drink.

650 ml bottle. Pours a dark copper color with moderate foamy head. Aromas of orange peels, tropical fruit and sweet malts. Flavors caramel, sweet malts, jammy yellow fruit, pineapple, and light pine. Chewy. Great.

2016-01-14, draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver, 7-4-7-4-14=36
Hazy amber color, the head is short lived. Very sweet and juicy, the alcohol tries to balance some of the sugars more than the bitterness does, and the hops have also a mild musky character; the choice of malt is quite good, it doesn’t cover too much the hops.
Pleasant, although the best examples of IIPA are drier and fruitier.
2015-12-31, bottle from Brewery Creek, Vancouver; 15$, 7-4-7-4-13=35
Hazy amber color with medium sized, short lived head. Resiny hops aroma, a lot of jam. Malt and caramel syrup; sweet but not too cloying; juicy orangey hops, a bit resiny; and the final is definitively warm.
Over the top, heavy to drink, but not badly brewed, can’t say this is a bad beer. Difficult one though.
One point less for the stupid price.

Bottle - Oily, syrupy orange sweetness. Dark orange gold with a small white head. Lots of citrus sweetness and peel. A bit over the top and too much citrus, but better than I expected.

22 oz. bottle, pours a hazy dark orange with a small white head. Aroma is intense, with notes of resinous hops, caramel malts and alcohol -- very abrasive. Flavour is abrasive, with stone red fruits, resinous hops, phenolic notes and sweet caramel malts. Super citrusy and sweet -- anything but restrained and balanced. Suffers from the fate of most IIIPAs: lacking balance and way too sweet. Decent, but difficult to drink and lacking any elegance.
