bottle pours dark orange with a medium off white head. Aroma is citrus and grapefruit hop notes with light hay and grass. Flavor is rich pale malts, lots of hay and a nicely balanced hop finish. Lots of citrus in the finish, lingers for a while.

On tap. Pours with a huge white head over a clear golden body. Aroma of honey, pear, and candi sugar. Far too sweet smelling. Taste is sweet, coriander, caramel and alcohol. Reminds me strongly of BJ’s Grand Cru. Creamy mouthfeel. Not a good Tripel.

Bottle, home. Surprisingly good DIPA. This beer pours a medium amber with a smallish white head. The aroma is quite good, a mix of a variety of hop flavors - mostly floral and citric. There’s a touch of caramel malt, but this is clearly a hop ride from the outset. The flavor is pretty much all big chewy hops. I guess it’s dry, but it’s hard to taste much beyond the hops. If that’s not your cup of hop tea, then you won’t like this beer much. There was a definite paint thinner note when the beer was colder, but it fades to further hoppiness as it warmed up. Mouthfeel is a bit rough, but them’s the breaks with hop juice. Super hoppy DIPA.

Bottle courtesy of a traveling colleague. The beer is a deep copper-gold color with a medium frothy white head that recedes steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. Sweet fruit and bready malt aroma. Medium chewy body with a borderline cloying sweetness and flavors of yeast, tropical fruit and a touch of peppery spice. The finish is sweet malt with a yeast aftertaste. Decent overall.
