Canned 4/21/26, drunk 6/3/26.
Yeah, echoing CGV, it's not the most aromatic. Deep malt, ripe tropical fruit and warming, but not sharp/hot alcohol strength felt. Would be fine with me but for the slight alcohol warming that I hate about TIPAs.
Soft, silky-to-oily texture is sweet with low but apparent bitterness. Very malty with that same persistent alcohol from the nose, again not hot/sharp/noxious, but still granting an alcoholic flavor. Even after 3-4 sips it's already the palate is already beginning to bog down in malt sweetness, alcohol and ripe tropical fruit. Not enough hop bitterness (though the alcohol sort of helps balance, oddly enough). End of the day, just too sweet, sluggish and alcoholic, which is most triple IPAs in a nutshell.

Working way through mix pack. Deep golden fairly clear and pretty white top that sits to attention. Nose is bready and hint of lemon. Tastes of toast, lemon, herbal. Crisp palate. Enjoyable

Pours murky gold into a willi. Bright white head with excellent retention recedes leaving trailing sheets. Tangerine and melon aromas. Soft with sweet white smarties, lemon meringue, lime and underripe melon upfront turning to dusty melon rind in the medium length finish.

Canned 4/15/26, drunk 5/30/26.
Soft and easygoing with pine-accented tropical and citrus fruits. Nothing too intense. More subtlety than the bolder, brasher, mega-juice-and-fruit of its brethren to the North and South. Healthy mix of cracker and white bread-like malts. Clean and polished.
Bigger malt profile than expected from the nose, but it's still balanced by good attenuation and lots of woody notes, pine and citrus with above average bitterness. Tropical fruit character helps lighten the mood. Very malty, but not syrupy or too sluggish of a texture (pushing it, though).

Canned 4/15/26, drunk 5/29/26.
Bit softer and fruitier than a traditional/classic APA a la SNPA. Some yellow apple and minor stone fruit giving it that New England twist. Clean and no toasted character from the malt, nor overboiled C hop. Despite its appearance, it smells much more like a NEPA than an APA.
Bigger bitterness up front with some petrol/rubber band/iodine. That is odd. Soft, malty texture with no obnoxious toast or caramel from the malt. Smoke lingering. This tastes like a smoked pale ale. Did something go wrong with my can? Not getting any actual hop character, just heavily peppered smoke and bitterness. Tastes great, honestly! But obviously unintended.
