22 ounce bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 9/27/2017. Pours slightly hazy medium golden yellow color with a 2 finger fairly dense and rocky off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Dense soapy lacing clings on the glass. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of huge tangerine, peach, pineapple, apricot, passionfruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, berry, grapefruit, lemon/orange zest, light pepper/pine, honey, white bread dough, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Touch of booze in the aromas as it warms. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/tropical/citrus hops and moderate pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of huge tangerine, peach, pineapple, apricot, passionfruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, berry, grapefruit, lemon/orange zest, light pepper/pine, honey, white bread dough, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Very mild pine, zesty, grassy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, peach, pineapple, apricot, passionfruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, berry, grapefruit, lemon/orange zest, light pepper/pine, honey, white bread dough, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/tropical/citrus hops and moderate pale malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance; and zero astringent hop flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready, and fairly sticky balanced mouthfeel that is fantastic. Minimal warming alcohol for 11%. Overall this is an amazing triple IPA! All around incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/tropical/citrus hops and moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth and dangerously easy to sip on with the mildly bitter/drying finish. Basically an NE style DIPA with no haze. Extremely juicy tropical/stone fruit Mosaic hop complexity; balanced malts without feeling overly sweet/heavy for the ABV. Very well attenuated. A highly enjoyable offering.
