COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This complex double India pale ale has an intense citrus and floral hop aroma balanced by a velvety malt body which has been augmented with lactose milk sugar. With this different take on an IPA we have brewed an ale that is both pleasing to drink and, once again, “not normal.” Cheers! 100 IBU 11.0%ABV (used to be 9.5%)

shared a bottle that I picked up at the brewery with my buddy in il. Poured from the bottle a very hazy orange color that you can’t see through with a very thin white head. Smell is hoppy and sweet with some creamy smell. The taste is super hoppy (love it) but finishes sweet, a nice well balanced beer. As we drank and the beer get closer to room temp the hops mellowed and it finished very easy.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy orange with small frothy off white head leaving spotty lacing. The aroma is floral hop, pine, and grapefruit. Thin mouthfeel with sweet hop and strong citrus flavor with nice light bitter finish. Easy to drink, a very good IIPA from Three Floyds.

11.0% version. Hazy amber - gold beer, tidy white head. Smooth soft palate. Mild fine carbonation. Creamy malt, airy. Sweet pine and tangerine pith with sweet tropical fruits. A little aniseed. Smooth finish. Another soft light DIPA from Three Floyds. Effortless quality as usual!

Pours a cloudy orange with little lacing from a small head. Smells of fruity pineapple and mango. Very tropical and sweet. Tastes of pine and grapefruit with the tropical fruits ever so present. Over all was a great IIPA ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Hazy dark orange. Fine, creamy white lasting head. Aroma is sweet, citrus, bright fruity, and floral hops, and perhaps I convince myself I detect the lactose.. Full, chewy body, sweetness, smooth balanced hop bitterness, Flavor much like the aroma. Complex. Mango, apricot, peach.

citrus, milky, floral aroma. Burnt orange with small but nice white head. Starts out as almost a creamy citrus. odd yet intriguing. Ends lighter and more hoppy.

Bomber. This one didn't work well for me. The hop flavor was muted by the milk sugar and just came out weird.

Pours slightly hazy gold with white head. Aroma is very malty cereal. nice creamy texture, big caramel malt backbone, little pine bitterness with some citrus sweetness. Little bit of alcohol burn and lots of lingering bitterness. Another really good IPA from Three Floyd’s, big surprise.

fidelis83 (1589) - Clinton, Iowa, USA - FEB 9, 2013
Pours a nearly clear gold with a tin, soapy white head. Aroma is citrus, cereal, caramel, sweet crystal-like malt and a little booze. Flavor is citrus, pine, light tree fruit, spicy hops, more crystal malt, toast nice alcohol and some yeasty fruitiness. Creamy palate, medium carbonation and creamy entry to off dry finish. Tasty stuff.

22oz bottle from the brewery. Pours a slightly hazy golden orange colour. Aromas are piney with nice sweet malts. Thick viscosity, full bodied, almost sticky, with flavours of resiny hops, sweet malts and noticeable lactose sugars.
