A hat trick is defined as an achievement of a positive feat three times in a game. For most people in America, it is most often associated with ice hockey where a player scores three goals in a single game. This event has been 14 years in the making for me, more than just three times, but 10 thousand times. Think of that number for a moment. That's not a number I ever thought I would ever achieve, especially as a young man in 2005 when I started my account on this website. With the proliferation of breweries, it's easier than ever to get to this point, but I do find pride in keeping track of each and every one of these beers/cider/mead/sake/etc on here. Some were quite memorable, and others I grasp at straws to remember what they looked like or what they tasted like. I'd like to think that I'll remember this one fondly for quite some time. When I started the day, I didn't have a 10k beer in mind, but when I saw the name and how much this term strikes a cord in my loving wife, who's first love may be hockey, with me being a close second, I knew this should be the beer that hits this milestone. This one poured a clear yellow-orange color with a small white head. Aroma was a ton of tropical fruit, pineapple. This was super juicy, with a little bit Super juicy. There was a kind of funky yeast character here, with some light, resin, but not overly bitter. Grapefruit and sweetness were quite pleasant here. Very refreshing.
