Simtra Triple IPA delivers a punch in the face with its very danky hop aroma derived from Simcoe and Citra hops. You wanted more hops you got them.

3.7 A 22 fl. oz. bomber, bottled on 13th July 2018. Poured into a Lost Abbey teku glass. It was a clear golden orange colour with an almost three finger white head that had good retention and left lots of nice sticky lacing. Aromas citrusy, grapefruit zest, orange rind, pineapple, dank, pine and a very light floral. Tastes a mix of light sweet and bitter, dank, pine, citrus rind, grapefruit pith, a touch of alcohol followed by a lasting bitter finish. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Overall, I’m not a huge fan of Triple IPAs, but this was not bad at all. Nice aromas were complimented with some good flavours, although the booze, which does creep in unsurprisingly, took it down a notch or two for me.

3.6 Bottle. Pours clear gold. Aroma and flavor are dank and piney hops, citrus, heavy bitterness, faint caramel, and sharp alcohol bite. Medium full body.

3.8 On tap at Whole Foods Market in Redwood City, CA. Aroma is spicy hops, alcohol, orange marmalade. Taste is boozy marmalade but more crisp / spicy than resiny. Pairs well with pepperoni pizza.

3.4 Tap, 10 cl, bought @ Atomic Liqours. Pours clear, light hazu golden with a sm all, staying, creamy white head. Aroma has apeicpt, pineapple, oranges. Medium carbonation, fine dry and quite vreamy mouthfeel. Flavour has sweet malts, crisp, apples, vinious. A bit sharp overall.

3.9 Aroma: flowers, floral hops. Nose is moderately intensive but, anyway, noticeable and tender. Taste: Malt and pine mix from the start, massive hoppy and citrus continuation. Bitter, semi-dry aftertaste with piny notes

4.0 Poured from a bottle into a tulip glass. Very clear, light orange color with a small off-white head that dissipates to nothing and leaves no trace of lacing at all. Aroma is citrus and a bit of tropical fruit. Nice bitter without overpowering. Perhaps a little light on the palate. Long, smooth but bitter finish. 11.3% alc is completely masked. Very nice ... almost great.

3.5 Dank resiny bitterness throughout and lingers in the aftertaste, a good beer but not a great one.

3.7 Pours a hazed golden with white head. Piney pineapple aroma. Dank piney floral hop flavor. Notes: bomber from Emon and Jenny, Mar ‘18

3.5 Tap at YOLO, Bangkok. Poured a slightly hazy golden colour with a frothy white head. The aroma is malt, tropical sweet fruits, woody hop, light alcohol. The flavour is moderate sweet, moderate to light bitter with a dry malt, fruity, nettle woody alcohol bitter palate and a warm long alcohol bitter finish. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.

3.7 More of my "loot" from Birmingham - OK, Pelham. Pours clear topaz with a thick and frothy porcelain head. Aroma delivers dank, piney hops on a bed of raw malt and a pinch of citrus. Flavor yields seriously piney hops, mild hop bitterness, subtle sweet malt, and a tangy citrus undertone. Mouthfeel presents fair, smooth body and good fizz. Get knee deep in Simtra!

4.1 Hops, pine , citrus. Nothing not to like. Very good imperial ipa. Would buy again.

3.7 Draft taproom. Pours golden with a soft white head. Aroma is cat piss and pine, citrus. Flavor is holy shit hops - pine, grapefruit peel, resin. Holy hops. Tasty. Pickering.

3.6 Whoa. Dank, resinous and big old pine style IPA with a overbearing syrupy sweetness. Boozy on the finish with a light astringency. Hops are heavy and punchy with tons of grapefruit and pine resin notes. Good but too sweet.

3.6 Clear gold pour with a fluffy white head. Big nose of piney floral hops, melon, lemon, malts, alcohol. The first thing i notice when i sip this brew is that it is very palatable for a beer of this size. Very drinkable. Its very hop forward with citrus and pine. Pretty sweet. Pretty good, worth the purchase!

4.6 Yikes, what an interesting Hop bomb. Distinct piney and in- distinct citrus blast, almost sweet and wonderfully no malt overtones. Very hard to describe but a great triple IPA.

3.7 650ml bottle pours a slightly hazy golden orange color with a finger of white head that leaves some decent lacing on the glass. Aroma is grapefruit and pine with some earthy tones and hints of caramel and tropical fruits. Taste is a grapefruit, pine and earthy hop bitterness with a tropical fruity and caramel malty sweetness. Medium bodied with good carbonation that pleases the palate. Overall, a big hoppy brew with a big malts to balance things out. Alcohol is well hidden. Recommended.

5.0 Wonderful sweet hoppy flavor. It makes you want to keep sipping it. By far my favorite triple IPA.

4.0 Bottle poured into a tulip glass. Pours clear gold with a small fizzy white head. Aroma is huge and full of lemon, grapefruit, mango, and pine. Initial taste is pine, earthy, oak aged bourbon, with a hint of citrus underneath. Aftertaste is still very earthy with a hint of biscuit and pine resin. Full body and just enough carbonation. Alcohol is hidden pretty well and leaves a nice warming. Very good stuff. Almost like a bigger version of their Imperial IPA.

3.8 On tap at Lost Dog Cafe in Merrifield, VA. Clear, bright golden org with no head and trivial lacing. Aroma of pine, tropical fruit, grapefruit, other citrus, pineapple, pale malt and alcohol. Taste of grapefruit, pine, tropical fruit, pineapple, alcohol and sweet malt. Medium full body and medium carbonation. Plenty hoppy with a firm sweet malt backbone and a noticeable alcohol burn.

3.6 pours golden yellow with white fluffy head. the aroma is citrus, grapefruit, earthy, and pungent pine. the flavor is strong is citrus, pine, resin. the body is very thick and warming going down. alcohol is hidden up front. Overall pretty good for a triple very heavy tho

3.6 Bouteille 650 ml du Canada craft Beer Club. O: Agrumes avec orange, fruits tropicaux, mangue et gazon. ’’très gazon’’. Le malt démontre sa présence avec un peu de biscuit et l’alcool est très puissant. V: Doré, tirant sur le ambré, sa mousse d’épaisseur moyenne et d’aspect rocailleuse recouvre un liquide clair et limpide. G: Le gazon recouvre l’entièreté de la langue dès l’entrée de bouche, puis se déclinent tons de fruits tropicaux ainsi qu’en une intense amertume résineuse rendue astringente par le puissant alcool. Sauf pour le gazon qui est dominant, on retrouve en sous-note de l’orange et de la mangue. Le problème de cette bière est que l’intensité de son dry hop et son alcool puissant tuent toutes les autres saveurs. Son corps charnu et sa texture grasse en font un liquide fort appréciable mais à la complexité gustative restreinte. Il y en aura peut-être pour encenser cette bière. Mais vous m’en verrez désolé, ça me prend un minimum de variété de saveurs. Pas juste de l’alcool et du houblon.

4.3 Clear orange with a fluffy white foam. Lots of melon in the aroma.Big hop flavor and bitterness is well balanced. Melon flavor lasts long into the finish.

3.9 Bottle from Titans, served in my IPA glass. Crystal clear beautiful copper in color with an insanely hoppy bouquet featuring tons of tropical fruits. Medium bodied with a slightly scratchy carbonation. The taste is bitter woodsy pine, sweet sirupy malts and hugely fruity hops. For such a high ABV it is much less boozzy than I expected though it does have some heat to it. Really good.

3.8 650 ml bottle from Canada Craft Club. Pours a clear golden orange colour with moderate-sized, creamy white head. Aroma is big danky, citric hops with some vinous character and a little booze. Flavour is huge, dank citric hops, some vinous white wine character, light grains and some booziness. Big body. Impressive.

3.8 Pale yellow small head. Citrusy and citrus notes. Barley sugar. Taste barley sugar, sharp hoppy notes. Quite bitter. Finish very bitter and sugary. White sugar. Very heavy and slightly boozy.

4.2 Beautiful bitter bomb, hoppy as hoppy can be with a gigantic malt base to offset the brutal finish. Pour is gorgeous, a glorious orange-gold underneath an enormous head and age rings that linger after each sip. Nose explodes with citrus and cat pee, backed by an orange-tinted sweetness and the slightest hint of booze. But, dear lord, what a hop bomb, the pine-grapefruit-orange-floral pungency of the Citras and Simcoes melding with caramel-toast malts to create a flood of majestic IPA excess. Starts mildly sweet, grows increasingly bitter, and finishes uber-resinous, a lingering finish for the ages. Alcohol is completely hidden, and the feel is silky smooth. Great beer.

4.0 On tap at World of Beer (Charlottesville, VA). Aromas of orange candy, tropical, light booze. Clear orange with a fairly lasting white head. Slightly sweet, strong, fruity. Full bodied.

4.6 Bomber from Whole Foods Market Fair Lakes Aroma: resin, caramel, citrus, Appearance: clear golden with a white head Taste: medium sweetness, medium bitterness, Palate: medium body, sticky, average carbonation, bitter finish Very tasty

3.8 Extra dank daffodil, scallions, rubber, and mango nose.Clear amber, medium head, little retention. Daffodil, fingernail polish at midpalate, grapefruit and orange peel. Medium body, soft carbonation, oily and resinous. Straight up bong water. I’m sure the potheads are really going to love this. It isn’t really my style, but I still enjoyed it.
