Thanks to bu11zeye for sharing this bottle. Big gusher that didn't stop foaming for 10 plus minutes.

The beer pours a yellow-brown color with a white head. The aroma is very fruity. I get some pineapple and apricot notes with some bready malt. The flavor is apricot, oranges, pineapples, mangoes and some biscuit malt. Low bitterness. A very fruity IPA that is very easy to drink. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. Drank alongside the other two beers from the Alvinne Hop Trilogy. I thought this one was the best of the three.

Bottle: Poured a pale yellow color ale with a super huge foamy head with perfect retention and lacing (somewhat of a gusher). Aroma consists of citrus hops with some light tart and funky notes. Taste is a unique mix between some Simcoe hops notes of citrus and piney with some light tart and funky yeast strain and a semi-sweet Belgian malt backbone. Body is quite full with excessive carbonation. Interesting hybrid between an American IPA and a Belgian ale with a somewhat wild yeast strain.
