Next to the this on the shelf I also saw a triple IPA from the same brewery. I decided to pass because I just wondered - what the hell. maybe next time. This one was big enough at 8%. Pretty nice hop nose, mostly citrus, a little resin and a touch floral. Nothing revolutionary in that regard but it was a nice hop profile. Flavor quite similar, nearly bone dry with just a hint at a crackery malt, but heavy on hop flavoring, fairly mild bitterness. Not especially boozy but a pint can of this stuff will make itself known. In general its good but the dryness revealed a serious lack of balance that detracted a tad from the overall experience. Hazy pale yellow gold, opaque, medium head.
