Very hazy and rich straw coloured body with a thick-ish three centimetre tall off-white head that's microfoamed and stays afloat for a long time, all above the 95 per cent opaque body. Aroma of light oranges, dry grass and hay, some lactose and a nice refreshing kick of some alpha acids from the hops, with some smooth oats and wheat noticeable, too. Medium-bodied; Very fresh and easy-drinking oats show the malt bill nicely with a crisp grassy note right behind, with a good kick of oranges and some citrus zest and finishes with a very crisp bitterness from the alpha acids of the hops and a well-balanced (not cloying) sweetness from lactose. Aftertaste is enjoyable with a good balance throughout, especially with the orange, lactose, oats/wheat and slight bitterness - all hit nicely and relatively flavourful for the style. Overall, a good New England IPA throughout - true to the style and well-represented by a player, I do remember and a good option for people who like ANY style of beer - if you can find it - I'm glad to have bought this and brought it back down South - then sampled it immediately! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Glen Ro Spirit Shoppe in Monroe, Connecticut on 05-September-2022 for US$4,49 and sampled at my house here in Washington on 09-September-2022.

Taster at White Lion. Cloudy amber pour, wispy head. Aroma is berries, jam. Taste brings the berries in fuller, raspberry jam, strawberry. Just a minor tartness at the finish. Sweet, sugary, fruity.

Taster at White Lion Springfield. Hazy yellow pour, small, soft, white foamy head. Light bready aroma. Taste is biscuity with a faint citrusy edge, so soft on the palate, so tasty. Like drinking a cloud

Can (no date) pour from Table and Vine, W. Springfield. It's an opaque yellow-tinged light brown with light sparkle, finger-width rocky off-white foam head with good retention and tons of soapy lacing. Aroma is strong sweet/tart fruit, caramel malt, brown sugar. Taste is strong caramel malt over sweet/tart fruit combination and booze. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with thick texture, some alcohol burn, average carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, hard to get the malt/hop ratio just right when you're ratcheting both up so high for a triple IPA. This one is too far to the malty side and the booziness and alcohol harshness dominate any hop contribution. Maybe at peak freshness but otherwise this drinks almost like a quad or a barley wine.

Thanks Tom aroma is caramel and pine. Taste follows aroma, caramel, pine cone, alcohol finish. So hard to make a good triple.

16 oz. can traded by tfontana. No can date. Aroma is tropical fruit and sweet grain. With the huge green bell it gets pretty sweet. Fruit still does come through a bit but it rides the line of being too sweet for an IPA. Alcohol is pretty hidden. Overall, still well above average. However, I wouldn’t let it sit around too long.
