Fegley's Hop'solutely Hurricane Triple IPA (Picked up at McCaffrey's in Blue Bell, PA). A 3 of 4. Having had the original years back, I expected this to be an interesting variation, and well, it is interesting! The lemons, limes, and passionfruit are incredibly dominant in this and almost a bit astringent on the palate with acidity. Combined with the alcohol at 11.5%, this seems like it'd be a bit much. And it is on the first sip. But it slowly grows on you quite a bit somehow -- it's very juicy and cocktail-like but still has some nice bitterness in the finish.

Fegley's Brewworks Hop'solutely Triple IPA (Picked up at Capone's in Norristown, PA). A 3 of 4. At 11.5%, this is a heavyweight of an IPA. The body has very little lacing and is a bright orange with lots of sweetness and booze and bitterness on the nose. Lots of caramel/candy sweet notes and some faint tropical notes, but mostly booze and sugar here. Drinks with a powerful, powerful bitterness and some bright citrus and resin notes. This is hugely sweet and hugely boozy, which helps balance the hop profile, but it feels a bit out of whack in places.
