Notes from the GTMW ’06. Clear orange with a moderate eggshell head. Aroma of sweaty pineapple and grapefruit hops, and some sweet caramel malts. Flavor was grassy, otherwise the same as the aroma--fruity and grassy are underlined. Light body, moderate smooth carbonation. Pretty good.

Big hoppy beer. Nice malt back. Some spicyness. Found my rating on some raggedy paper. Must be a few months old.

Draft from 3F brewpub. Clear copper pour with white creamy head. Floral and hop notes in the smell. Crisp flavor with more hops, caramel, and spice. Slight bitterness in the finish. Not Alpha King, but very good.

On tap at the brewpub, enjoyed on the day of the DL gathering. Great to see this one around for the festivities. I don’t quite see how "borders on IPA," to me, its clearly in the category. Regardless, there’s an assertive hop presence on the nose and more of the same on the palate. Some ginger and coriander followed by the grapefruit and pine notes. If you’re an IPA drinker, this is wonderful stuff. Clearly well-crafted, but I have a hard time finding much here other than a lot of hops.

The joy of visiting Three Floyds is trying such beer on tap. This dark, cloudy amber elixir with the requisite amount of off-white head was quite good. A symphony of aromas greet the nose: hops, spices, fruit, caramel, pine. Sip some in and feel a full-bodied, smooth, robust beer caress your tongue and seduce your tastebuds. The flavor is a burst of hops joined by puffs of spice, fruit, and forest essence. Damn. The down side of this beer was that we couldn’t get a growler to take home.

Three Floyds found a winner in this IPA. A super-hoppy beer, the hops stand out like few other beers. A little bitter, but otherwise a B+

On tap during 3F’s DL day 2006. This poured dark orange with a slightly khaki colored head. The aroma was grapefruit and caramel with a hint of pine.The taste was pine and grapefruit. nice and bitter like you woudl expect and IPA from 3F’s. There was also some bread crust and peanuts. Overall, a decent IPA, but needs a little more malt balance.
