Poured from 22oz bomber, pours a cloudy orange amber with a nice white head and sticky lacing in the glass, aroma has a decent amount of citrus and grapefruit on the nose, seems a little skunked, probably an older bottle, the flavor has a nice amount of hops on the front end with a bitter finish, light mouthfeel, I wish I could of tried this super fresh, still not bad.

Aroma- floral hints, huge citrus notes, mint, massive hop bitterness
Appearance- pale yellow with big carbonation, huge white head, intense lacing
Taste- tropical fruit juices, first wave of hops, some malty sweetness in the middle, followed by lasting hop dryness
Palate- solid mouthfeel on this one, somewhat thick
Overall- A very sexy wet-hopped IPA from 3F. Does just about everything right and is insanely drinkable.

22 oz bottle. Pours a cloudy caramel. Good size frothy white head. Big grapefruit aroma. Citrus flavor of juicy orange and grapefruit. Plenty of bitter, but very nicely balance by the sweet orange and a bit of caramel. Excellent lacing on the glass. Good thick palate. Lingering nicely balance hoppy mouth feel. Missed out of Founders Harvest Ale this year, but I think this bad boy might have made up for it. Very very tasty. Three Floyds puts out some nice stuff.

UPDATED: DEC 15, 2012 Well it’s a hoppy 3Floyds beer so it’s gotta be cop. Big tropical fruit punchbowl on the nose. Medium bodied with some decent balance. Citrs, tropical fruits and a soapy element. Not overly bitter, but quite elegant for the style.

Pours a hazy golden orange with a white head and sweet aroma of hops and fruits. Taste is of bitter sweet, of hops, fruits, citrus, and floral notes with a heavy bitter, long finish. Another great brew by 3 Floyd’s, delicious IPA
4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20 chanokokoro (138) - Illinois, USA - DEC 9, 2012
Enjoyed at the Three Floyds Brewpub in Munster, IN. Served in a 20 oz. nonic pint glass.
Golden with peach accents. Served with a two finger bright white head. A refreshing aroma of flora, fresh cut grass, and citrus on the nose. Opens with a blast of citrus-tinged fresh green tea, pine, & floral notes joined by mildly sweet nutty malt, and finishes with fresh citrus rind bitterness. Crisp and clean medium body with sticky, soapy, and resiny mouthfeel. A great wet hopped American Pale Ale that will satisfy anyone’s hop craving.
4.5 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20 davey101 (490) - Connecticut, USA - DEC 6, 2012
22 oz bottle into a FFF .5L glass. Thanks HopsMatt!
A - Pours a hazy dark amber/orange body. Two finger off white head forms and settles into a thick cap and edging. Fantastic lacing and retention. Simply a gorgeous beer.
S - Cotton candy sweet hops lead into some grass, grapefruit and herbal bitterness. Plenty of caramel malt. Its so beyond tropical that it comes off as candy like. Such an intoxicating aroma.
T - Sweet mango candies, juicy grapefruit, caramel mats, and pine. A light bitterness cuts through all the sweetness. Insanely delicious.
M - Medium bodied and creamy, spot on carbonation. Alcohol is not noticeable. Super drinkable.
O - I think I just found my new favorite we hop ale. I wasn’t expecting much considering its age, but its drinking phenomenally. Just a candy sweet cotton candy/grapefruit bomb.

Shared at a tasting today.
The beer is yellowish orange with a lasting white head and sparse lacing. Fresh hop aroma with tropical fruits. Oh yeah. Really nice flavor. Plenty of hop character, along with tropical fruit, citrus. Very mild and subdued malt bill, which is great. A terrific wet hop beer.

4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 18/20 Onslow (923) - Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA - DEC 6, 2012
Pour from a 22oz bomber. SLightly cloudy, pale amber brew with persistent thin head. Clean aroma of crisp, fresh hops, citrus and pine, very light and airy. Taste is agile and delicate, moderate sweetness at the start, hops forward with light ethereal bitterness and wonderful lingering final finish. An excellent IPA, one of the best wet hops brews I’ve had.
