Sweetwater Dank Tank The Creeper

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8

The aroma is very citrusy and lemoney with hints of grapefruit spritz as well as some yeast and bitter hoppiness with some light fruity overtones. The appearance is very intriguing and is a hazy and cloudy light-yellow and almost looks like a Hoegarrden and has a head on top that is bubbly and carbonated and discipates to a rocky lacing that coats the glass well. The mouthfeel is medium-bodied and very sharp and crisp with some nice face-puckering bitter balance with nice complexities to go with it and has a palate that is wet but a bit dry at the same time. The flavor starts bitter with lemon, grapefruit, orange, and acidicity with an aftertaste that is reminiscient of an Imperial IPA and has some tartness as well with faint sourness with a finish that gives way to some alcohol burn but is dry-like and pretty smooth and not bad. Overall, an interesting creation here and it is not bad and the color really through me off but all-in-all, a nice attempt at the style by this brewery; recommended brew but it is not outstanding by no means.

The first run out of Sweetwater's "Dank Tank." This tripel IPA pours a magnificent clear golden, very appetizing, with a very thick and exceptionally persistent buttery-offwhite head - you could practically use it for insulation. ;) Aroma is mainly malty with some hoppy hints and touches of spices and caramel. Flavor is predominantly malty with a lemony overtone and a hint of hard cider. Texture is tingly and very smooth, leaving a sour and sweet aftertaste.
