16oz can from Hidden River. Pale fuzzy peach-yellow-tan body. Creamy white head. Tangy Azacca, cooling Simcoe, and straightforward orange juice Citra. Really pleasant combination. Has some juicy tang up front, but finishes with a smooth, sweet, oaty finish. Easy drinking for the ABV. Solid all the way around.

16oz can. Another great Hazy IPA from Hidden River. Cloudy orange, true look. Steady, creamy, white head. Juicy hop tone, lots of lupulin sticky pollen tone. Great hop depth, Tangy, juicy, tropical...all merged together. Fruit salad. Quite delicious. Full bodied, but pretty drinkable for the ABV. World Class.

Wow. After being a little underwhelmed by the triple IPA, this one blew me away. Awesome juicy, tangy hop tone. Deep, oaty, creamy body. World Class stuff, boom!

I am not really big on the wave of triple IPA, as most of them seem dextrose pushed and sugary sweet, lacking any malt tone that might make it more enjoyable. Unfortunately HR's example of the style is similar, albeit way more enjoyable hopped than typical. Juicy, but not really that enjoyable of a beer for me. Hop tone is excellent though, covers a lot of tones..honey melon sweet, tropical tang, deep alcohol laced sweetness.

2 days past canning super fresh stuff. Thick greyed orange body. Creamy white head. Excellent stuff, huge hop tone, depth. World Class stuff. Simcoe takes it one way, Moutere the other, the other hops balancing and backing up them both. Really good. Oaty true body.

16oz can from the brewery. 2 days after canning, very fresh and lovely. Juicy, oaty, bright new school IIPA. Great hop depth, from soft NZ to dry US and lots of juiciness in between. Great beer.

16oz can. Surprisingly true to style. Doughy malt tones, hint of hops. I probably would have gone with an English hop but Saaz works well. Smooth caramel, nutty malt tone. Delicate fruity ale yeast. Good.

16oz can from the brewery. 8 days after canning, still very fresh. Mild mouthfeel, but still heavily oated and hopped. Perhaps not quite the Motueka bomb I had hoped for, but still a nice beer. Rather full bodied for the ABV. Good.

Earthy as much as okay, quite a unique beer. Hops are mild, the oak smooths them over. Earthy cave beer. Good.
