4.1 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
This is what I expect from Three Floyds now. With a golden clean body and light carbonation - it looks more tame than it actually is. The hop aroma is intense and spicy; lots of grapefruit and zest. The taste was hops, lingering hops, mineral deposits, and a hop finish. Yay.

Finally got to try this one thanks to Chipalsa. Nose is loads of grapefruit and grassy, wet hops. Well water. Pour was bronze. Alpha King had a heavy citrus taste with bits of burnt caramel and a mineral-like quality to it. This is a great brew for sure.

Pours a red orange with a nice cream head. Leaves great lacing. Aroma is grapefruit and floral hops. Big hops flavor, grapefruit, floral, and some sweetness. Really nice bitterness. Great beer.

Bottle. I have heard many good things about this one. Pours a dark red/amber color. It has a pleasant citrus aroma. The taste has some hops, citrus, a bit of pine, and perhaps a hint of fruit. This combination ends with a very noticeable crisp hops aftertaste. Although this does not live up to my probably over the top expectations, this is overall a very enjoyable and solid Three Floyds effort.

Three clouds pale ale is legit... very drinkable hop forward. Nice citrus notes. Amazing!
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Sampled with a few friends. Pours a beautiful golden, light amber. Aroma is a healthy hop-forward. Flavor is a beautiful crisp hop with a light malt and light citrus and grapefruit notes. The mouth feel is really nice, not too thin at all. Definitely an enjoyable, supreme American Pale, but I have to say that I enjoyed Zombie Dust more.

Bottle. Pours deep but clear amber. Two finger head and good lacing. Aroma is really big and bold grapefruit and tropical fruits. Taste is the same bold grapefruitiness with just a bit of an offset of the caramel malts. Just had a zombit dust priot to this and while both are "wow" PAs, this one may be better. Maybe. I don’t know. Shit.
