7.5/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 6 Overall 8
This beer pours a clear reddish-amber color with a medium off-white head that diminishes steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. Aroma of roasted malt and hops. Medium body with flavors of piney hops, roasted malt and caramel. The finish is moderately bitter with a hoppy aftertaste. Pretty good all around.

Slightly hazy orange pour that throws up a fleeting washy white head. Floral hop aroma, some pine. Assertive bitter hop flavor, resiny but balanced. Some alcohol comes through. This wanders quite close to Barleywine territory.

22oz bottle from Bine and Vine. 11.3% what!!?? Will this rock my world or what? Well it pours out with a crystal clear copper body with thin gold edges and supporting a thin near white head of foam. The aroma offers up a bold mix of malt sweetened pine and citrus hops and a bit of mango like tropical fruitiness around the edges. Overall the aroma seems timid in strength and struggling to get out of the glass. The taste is thick with bitter hop resin that seems to be restrained, poorly, by malt sweetness. The hop bitterness is coming from firm to robust levels of pine and grapefruit and some mango like hoppy goodness where a thicket of malt sweetness tries to smooth out the bitterness. This is a pretty darn good beer.

This brew pours a clear orange color with a medium thick foamy white head that recedes slowly. Patchy lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus, hops and malt. Medium body with flavors of grapefruit, hops and touches of malt. The finish is moderately bitter with an oily citrus aftertaste. Pretty good all around.

Aroma is almost all hops. Lots of tropical fruit, peaches, orange and other citrus, an pine resin. A touch of caramel malt in the aroma. Some alcohol in aroma and a touch fusel, but not too bad. Pours a clear gold with copper notes an slightly off white head that retains a thin layer on top and along the edges for quite some time. The flavor is similar to the aroma but the hops aren't as assertive. The hop flavor is still fruity with citrus and pine, but there is a lot more caramel malt character as well. The bitterness is strong and there is a touch of hop astringency, but it's not too bad. The alcohol is present in the flavor but only in the finish and it helps clear the malt sweetness. The mouthfeel is smooth and somewhat creamy. There is low astringency from the hops. Lots of warming character from the alcohol. A bit sweet, but too be expected for this high of alcohol content. Overall a pretty good beer, but I think I just don't like triple IPAs; too much alcohol for me. I like boozy stouts and hop bomb DIPAs but triple IPAs are too much for me. This is a fairly good version though; the alcohol isn't overpowering and the hops and malt are balanced. I guess I would like less caramel though. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

This beer is a clear copper color with a medium ivory white head that diminishes steadily to an outer ring. Short strings of lacing. Citrus, hops and malt in the nose. Full-bodied with flavors of resiny hops, citrus and grainy malt. The finish is hoppy up front with a mild alcohol burn in the aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

Bottle at La Cave à Bulles, Paris; 11.3% ABV
Clear amber color, bright, small head. Strange feeling, the aroma of resiny hops is so strong that it becomes almost nutty (hazelnuts), and manure. Full bodied, with round mouthfeel and some flavor of crystal, but not thick or sticky, luckily; strong flavor, with powerful hopping, mostly resiny, piney, and very moderate fruitiness. Long and extreme final.
Overwhelming.
