Reviewed from notes.
Bottle to snifter.
Appearance: burnt orangey color with a finger's worth of white frothy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: pineapple, coconut, agave, honey, mixed citrusy notes, sweet wood, grapefruit and a touch of lemon
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet woody/honey tone to a tropical fruity sweet tone; finishes through all those aromas I mentioned
Texture: medium bodied, good sipper, some smoothness but light woody tones pinching the tongue ever so lightly
Overall: a very nicely done Tequila barrel aged TIPA worthy of coming back to

Brewery draught, 6/17)24. Clear, deep bronze-maize-golden. Small, white head. Maybe the best tequila treatment I've experienced. Dry, woody, a touch smokey, salty, no aggressive notes and not too vegetal. Perky pepper and light liquor on the end. Wow this really elevates the otherwise, sweet, hot, sharp, excessive Triple Sunshine. This is mellow, yet rich, but approachable and drinkable with excellent tequila character and lots of wood and light smoke. Very malty, big textures. Not high attenuation but it's reasonable. Not hot or boozey, whatsoever. Seems like this batch is far better than in previous years.

Taster at brewery, side by side with Triple Sunshine. A bit darker hue, closer to amber, thinner head. Coconut aroma, woody. Taste is soft and sweet, coconut, vanilla toffee. This really transcends the normal Triple Sunshine, a masterpiece in its own right .
