Clea golden, sparse head. Aroma needs some warmth to come out better, and when it finally does, its fruity - sweet and tropics all around. Balance is mind-numbing, this beer drinks so easy it’s scary. Fresh mango, papaya and so many more other tropical fruits. It’s only later when some alcohol reveals itself on your tongue, with some warmth and bitter tickling. Dry finish with herbal notes remains longer from hops. Excellent Triple IPA.

Quelle bombe!!! C’est la plus forte IPA que j’ai goutée en tout cas. Oui, il y a une certaine forme de démesure mais l’équilibre est là, c’est tout à fait harmonieux. C’est intense mais bon. Merci à mon ami pour le partage ;)

Bottled@Stadin Panimobaari, Helsinki. Yellowish orange colour, small white head. Aroma is fruity, floral, some mild nectar as well as alcohol sweetness to it. Flavour is mild alcohol, some sweet fruity and floral notes along with a nice lingering mellow bitterness to it. Long sweet malty and floral aftertaste.

(Bottle, 0.65 l, at Stadin Panimobaari, 20160706) The beer poured golden and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had grass, pine and booze. Palate was medium bodied and warming with medium carbonation. Flavours were sweetness, grass, pine, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was sweet, hoppy and bitter. An over sweet hoppy pale ale.

22 oz bottle (as Hop-trio, not Hoparillo 3x, but everything else about the label is the same). Amarillo, Mosaic, and Citra. Off to a good start there. Clear bright orange. Frothy head, sticky lace. Lots of hops and booze. Fruity, tropical hops. Orange, a bit of pine, and since spice as well. The hops are met by the alcohol in the flavor. You could probably mistakenly think it was only 9 or 10% based off the relative drinkablity, but still that's a big, boozy IPA. Would definitely bang again, but I might be inclined to split it with a friend or 2.

On Tap at Growler Guys Meridian. Clear golden thin but sturdy and lasting off white had and lacing. Big up front piney hop aroma. Big time hop vehicle but a full malt body to carry it. Lingering IBU burn and the 11+% will get to you. Well done.

Light haze on this gold - amber beer, good cream colour head. Palate is light, all things considered, it’s semi dry and has good fine carbonation. Smooth rich malts, nice creamy sweetness. Hops are orange, spicy orange and marmalade. Good does of pine. Mild hop spice and jammy tropical fruits. More spice and pine on the smooth semi dry finish. Lacks a bit of brightness of the very best but this is an incredibly drinkable DIPA and it hides the abv very well indeed. Certainly felt it when the whole bottle was gone!

22 ounce bottle into tulip glass; no bottle dating, but is a recent release. Pours fairly crystal clear golden orange color with a 1-2 finger dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, mango, passion fruit, guava, berry, lemon/orange peel, citrus rind, light pepper, pine, honey, bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of juicy/dank citrus/tropical/pine hops and moderate bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, mango, passion fruit, guava, berry, lemon/orange peel, citrus rind, light pepper, pine, honey, bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Good amount of pine/citrus rind/spicy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, mango, lemon/orange rind, pepper, pine, honey, bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of juicy/dank citrus/tropical/pine hops and moderate bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance and zero astringent hop flavors after the finish. Moderate dryness from bitterness that increases through the glass. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, moderately sticky/resinous, and lightly creamy/bready balanced mouthfeel that is great. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a light warmth lingering after the finish. Overall this is an incredible big imperial IPA! All around fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of juicy/dank citrus/tropical/pine hops and moderate bready malt flavors; and very smooth and dangerously easy to sip on for the huge ABV. This was extremely well attenuated and dry for the ABV on malt sweetness. A highly enjoyable offering.
