Can, cold but not quite the 4C (inconsistency there?) recommended. Almost opaque dull gold with a large fluffy white head. Aroma of grapefruit, lemon drops, mango puree, cracker dough, overt alcohol. Just medium bodied. Sweetish at first but the bitterness and alcohol dries things out quite quickly. This strong, the wheat and oats and whatever the yeast choice was to make it NEIPAish doesn't really make any difference to the texture of the beer. And it's hoppy and boozy without obvious problems but to no obvious purpose.

From a 375ml can on 27/7/2020. Pours a hazy medium golden with a big fluffy head. The nose is light, slightly sharp and fruity. Tastes quite sweet up front with lots of tropical and citrus fruit (pineapple, mango and orange) followed by a sharp, slightly spicy bitterness, with a bit of hop burn at he back. Pretty boozy and the 10.5% doesn't surprise. The mouthfeel is a bit syrupy, the carbonation moderate. Okay but there are better big hazies out there.

Can from Parkhill Cellars (North Melbourne). An intriguing concept all round this. Shows that if you crank up the sugars, alcohol etc, basically a triple NEIPA tastes like a TRIPA... a really, really tasty one.

I was worried they were going overboard with a triple NEIPA, but I'm really loving this. Heaps of passionfruit combine with orange peel, lemon, marshmallow and cookie dough. The alcohol makes it a little rough down the throat, but overall this is a ripper.
