Can to tulip, the appearance was a bronzed copper transparent color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that slid off fairly quick. Adequate foamy lace stuck to the glass nicely.
The aroma centered around some sweet danky onion to some sweet papaya/mango sort of thing going on. Some light sweet grass and a little pineapple came out nicely.
The flavor seemed to lean towards the sweet side initially and then engulfed a tranquil sticky bitterness from the tropical notes. That danky onion came back with some grip on the aftertaste.
The mouthfeel was almost medium bodied with a fair sipping quality about it. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt fine. Some dryness in the finish.
Overall, nothing to go bonkers about, but steady as she goes, it does the trick.

16 oz. can. thanks to TJ on this one. Has no date coding of any kind. Hazy in the New England style, aroma is very light grassy, some fruit. The flavor is not offensive, but just doesn’t really have a whole lot here. Weak fruits. The ABV is hidden so that is a big plus.

Poured into a tulip, the appearance was a golden ruddy orange color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head. Some stringy lace.
The aroma had some grapefruit sweetness, grassy hops and a sturdy malt backbone.
The flavor was moderately sweet with some bitterness trying to poke through. Lightly blended aftertaste with a semi-dry finish.
The feel was about medium bodied with a fair sipping quality about it. Light carbonation and the ABV felt appropriate.
Overall, decent DIPA, maybe again.

Poured into a tulip, the appearance was a ruddy burnt yellow to orange color. Just a film of head accompanied the beer and slid into a slight messy lace.
The aroma had some stuffy dough, super sweet sugars, lemon pulp, dried grass, dried dark fruit and some hay.
The flavor was super sweet aligning the dough to the dark fruits and sugars. Tough doughy aftertaste with an odd overly sweet finish.
The feel was about medium bodied with not much sessionability about it. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt fine.
Overall, oh geez, and I thought my homebrews were bad. Most likely not again.

Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a chalice.
The appearance was a hazy yellow color with a rocky white foamy head. Lace was messy and all over the place.
The aroma had some Belgian sugar, citrus pulp/lemon, light hay/grassiness, white pepper, light clove, banana and bubblegum.
The flavor was basically the same with a lingering aftertaste of the banana and bubblegum. Some hits in the finish with some dry chalkiness.

Overall, decent tripel, I think I could see myself coming back to this one.

Fresh can, thank you T.J! Hazy golden orange in color. Aroma shows me light grass, mild malts and perhaps a slight alcohol note. The alcohol note hints me right after mild tropical hints and grass.
The bitterness is pretty strong. Body is maybe slightly thinner but not in a negative way.
