What's on the Can/Website: "The Transgression Culture series of beers are new, intensified, and occasionally transgressive versions of new ideas and beer be released in the past.

This one takes on of our favorite New-American Hoppy Ales and morphs it by increasing the gravity and intensifying the already deep content of Citra and Azacca hops with three stages of dry hopping for massive flavor and aromatic expressions."

REVIEW:

Appearance (5%): Poured hazy dark golden into a pint glass. Unfiltered; sediment suspended in the beer. White head; good lacing at the top of the glass. 4.5/5

Smell (25%): Sweet tropical; mix of tangerine and mango. Complementing heavier oaty malt to match its 10% listing, yet the tropical is more the star. 4.5/5

Taste (40%): Mix of dank, tropical, and some octane. Dank and juicy tropical citrus continue from the middle of the experience into the aftertaste. Lovely citrus and stone fruit. Aftertaste is more stone fruit mango. Delicious. 4.25/5

Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-full bodied, some carbonation. Juicy and sticky with some dry tongue. 4.25/5

Overall (20%): An excellent to outstanding Triple IPA. People would put this in the Triple IPA category for hitting the 10% ABV barrier, so I'll do the same. Despite some octane at the start, you'll get a good tropical experience. Certainly fits the 10% listing on taste and mouthfeel. 4.5/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.375/5
