16oz can. Disgusting devolved Citra aroma. Sugary grossness. I'm not scared off by the ABV, but Triple IPAs are just the most vile things ever. Dextrose overload. Just a disgusting end product. Vile, oily, fuesal.

16oz can. Splitting hairs, but I wouldn't call this a Pils, more of an IPL. Aroma is a little off 4 months from canning. Flavor is still fine, Strata leading. Decent enough chewy body. Resinous hop tone. No Pils tendencies at all, IPL at all the way.

Draft at Elephant & Castle Chicago. Muted thick orange yellow. Nose is juicy fruits. Tatses of bright honey dew, papaya, mandarin orange, grapefruit hint of rye (more as it warms). Fruity finish. Some bitters.

Aromas are mainly resin with some malt, citrus, MJ and melon. Flavors are similar to nose. Good balance between bitter, sweet and carbonation. Bittersweet finish. I don't pick up the rye. Decent but not great.

Sample at the Columbus brewpub. The beer is a hazy grapefruit-rosé color with a thin pinkish-white head that burns away quickly to a wispy film. Strings of lace. Aroma of tropical fruit, floral hops and malt. Light to medium body with flavors of floral hops, dragonfruit, and biscuit malt. The finish is fruity with a mildly bitter hop and tropical fruit aftertaste. Above average overall.

Medium body with flavors of herbal hops, grapefruit and bready malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a citrusy hop aftertaste. Above average overall.

Hazy yellow color and small white head. Canned tropical fruits in the nose. Medium-bodied. Sweetish, lots of overriped sweet tropical fruits like mango and apricot. Average. At brewpub.
