Can. Hazy orange gold beer, a decent bubbly pale cream colour head but, it doesn't last. Light palate, semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light pale malts, a thin creamy sweetness, a little natural grain. Nelson and Riwaka hops bring light cooling pine. Mild savoury hop and an even milder bitterness. A decent amount of Nelson grape and mild Riwaka exotics. Light and semi dry finish. It's fine but, so much competition with DIPAs these days, this is a little behind the curve.

So glad to see them do their first Triple IPA ! Hazy, golden-orange colour with a big, frothy, warm-white head, good retention and thick creamy lacing. Loads of fruitiness in the nose, with tropical notes, citrus, hints of farm and just a tad of alcohol. A wet, juicy mouthfeel with some slow building dryness that cuts the thickness, but not overpowering. Citrus zest flavours with a touch of tropical-stone fruits and mild grassy hops lingering. Happy 6th birthday (which I celebrated with you at the brewery) and hopefully many more Triple IPAs.
