Ninkasi comes from Eugene, and has become one of my favorite breweries after a rocky start quality-wise a couple of years ago. Tricerahops is a favorite beer of mine, but I've never blogstificated about it.
It's got a great 420-esque hop nose. If the Oskar Gubna posted earlier smells like a freshly opened bag of hops, then Tricerahops smells like a freshly-opened bag of a similar "herb". Not sure what hop variety(ies) they're using for aroma hops, but I like it and would love to find out.
Flavor is also balanced toward hops, but has some great malt sweetness for contrast.
The mouthfeel is slightly rich, with a solid bitterness to balance it out.
Overall, a great, hoppy strong IPA that's very drinkable. If you can find this beer, buy it, you'll like it. And if you don't, it's because you're a heathen with an unrefined palate.
