Growler form bill acquired via trade. Pours hazy golden with light head. Boozey triple ipa, cheese and onion funk, oranges, sugar, and pine resin. Medium to full body. I guess this was good but triple ipa’s are too much for me these days.

Growler split at Endo’s, thanks to the man himseld, 25/05/13. Lightly hazed golden amber with a thin white head. Nose is hop forward, pine, bitter grapefruit, bitter orange, caramel malt light, tropical fruits. Taste comprises juicy and fresh hops, big pine bite, caramel malt, grpaefruit, orange pith, bitter tropical notes, light mango. Full bodied, fine carbonation, pine bite and lightly warming with a moderate level of hop bitterness in the finish. A great TIPA, alcohol is well integrated. Not as drinkable as hop venom but a well balanced big IPA none the less.

Woodshed 2.0. Growler share courtesy of dak. It pours with a deep gold body with copper hues and supporting a white head of foam. The aroma offers up big yummy rich grapefruit, tangelo and mango like fruity hoppiness as well as some malt sweetened onions and shallot danky earthy goodness. The taste is smooth and rich with a mix of tangerine and mango hop flavor notes that are sweetened a tad by maltiness and then running into both resiny and dank like shallot and onion earthy hop goodness. Damn. This is big and rich and smooth and yummy but for the claim of a IIIPA it is a little tame. Damn good nonetheless.

Growler pour from woodshed 2.0. Bright gold pour. Flavors are big and bold, spicy hops, sweet and citrusy goodness. Both bitter, juicy and sweet. ABV is hidden oh too well. Wow.

Growler via dak @ Woodshed 2.0! Extremely bright citrus, evergreen, and resinous hops rise from the 24 karat body. Pungent, dank, herbaceous, incredibly fragrant, and even floral. This one rolls your eyes back, peels the enamel off of your teeth, and burns off taste buds...incredible! One of the better IIIPA’s I’ve had...and at 12%, the ABV isn’t at all distracting. Delicious!

On tap at Bailey’s Taproom. Pours a hazy canary yellow with thick white head. Aroma is a punch of grapefruit, passionfruit, pine, and lemon rind. Flavor is massively full of floral, perfume, fruity hops. Not a sharp bite but rather just a burst of flavors. Loads of perfume! Thick, clean mouthfeel. I’m swallowing wonderful hoppy air. I actually preferred this to the Pliny the Elder on tap I’d had 10 minutes prior, and I love Pliny. This was awesome!

On tap at Apex, pours a cloudy golden orange with a small beige head. Aroma explodes with herbal hops, a little marijuana and some delicate toasted malt somewhere in the background. Flavour destroys the palate with hempy, pot-like hops--super pungent and palate coating--, there’s some biscuity malt to provide support but not much in the flavour. The 12% is not apparent at all. Delicious palate destroyer.

On tap at a barley wine fest. Ok. Good call. Golden pour nice super creamy head and lace. Nose of big fruity citrus and dank tropical fruits pale maly and residual sugar. Flavors of citrus and tropical notes pale malts some sweetness underneath huge hops. Chewy lingering bitterness with alcohol heat. Nice triple ipa. Solid.

Draft @ 13th Bistro Double IPA Festival, Hayward, CA. Pours a golden color with a white head. has a fruity malty piney grapefruit aroma with some bready caramel hints. Fruity malty hoppy bitter piney slightly boozy flavor. Has a fruity malty piney hoppy bitter grapefruit finish.

Floral and piney, smells pretty hot. The flavors follow, a little thin almost watery and for sure boozy but over all not bad. Younger smashes ; )
