Can from the brewery provided by tfontana, canned 12/31/25, drunk 3/22/26. Thanks, Tom!
Very big intensity of pineapple character as I'm pouring it. But there's a ton of hop in there too, thankfully. Typical spice-pine-chalk-earth-mineral-white grape that all of these hops coalesce to produce. Oh and citrus, of course. Some graham cracker-like malt redolent of the Julius series, but no big sweetness, nor any alcohol noted.
Nice and hoppy to balance the pineapple, which is either very tastefully-done or has fallen off considerably since brewing (or both). Graham cracker and white bread malts are ample and show depth and good dryness on the finish, all the while being aided in balance by a pine-grapefruit-like bitterness. Good juiciness, good minerality, with spice, white wine, light tropical fruit and such. Little bit of everything. Guessing the additional age on this can worked in this beer's favor; or at least as far as what I want in an IPA. Though I'm impressed there is still so much bitterness. The Triple Farmer had the bolder, more expressive flavors (as it should), but I'm pretty satisfied with what's going on here coupled with the lower abv.

16 oz can in a trade with tfontana. Thank you! Canned 12/31/25. Aroma is grapefruit peel, scallion, mango. Flavor follows with a very soft pineapple in the finish. Subtle grapefruit rind bitterness. I had Triple Farmer right before this. This doesn’t stand up to it.
