Triple IPA
This brew uses the parti-gyle brewing method. A frightening amount of El-Dorado, Citra and Idaho 7 Hops balance the sweetness of this TIPA. Massive citrus notes with pineapple, hits of candy, and sweet sticky mango! A total palate wrecker.
Grande. Hoppy. Fruity. Esoteric.

473mL can, pours a clear golden with a medium white head. Nose brings out juicy stone fruits, tropical fruits, resinous hops, and sticky candi sugar. Flavour is sweet and hoppy, with resinous hops, mango, stone fruits, orange rinds, and sweet biscuity malt. Nicely hopped, but a little too sweet on the fruitiness. Good stuff.

Dark blond colour, slight haze. The aroma is nice and clean, with mild tropical fruits, light alcohol. Good body strength, moderately sweet (on the low side indeed); but the combination of alcohol and oily mouthfeel is not too exciting; decent hop presence, with ripe fruits, sweet orange peel; mild feeling of rotten fruit in the finish.
For the style, not a bad result, because it's complicated to nail; some imperfections, it's "too much", but it's more than decent, and it gets better as I keep drinking it.

Opaque. Fruity-juicy hop nose. Juicy hop - stone fruit and subtropical, sort of sticky pale malt that’s cut by alcohol in the finish. Not bad - intense all round.
