Trappistenbier (42), Belgium Aug 9, 2008 This is a most amazing IPA. One of the bests I ever had. Fruity, extreme hoppy, sweet and such a density. Orange, somewhat hazy color. Longlasting, small head, not much carbonation.
This is a true example of a typical American quality IPA. Congrats to Three Floyds. This is great brewing ! AndyReynolds (280), Wilder, Kentucky, USA Aug 8, 2008 Updated: May 19, 2009Re-rate: Bottle. Pours a nice golden amber with a thick white head. This is an awesome IPA. The aroma is very hoppy with hints of citrus, malts, and pine. This beer has the most fresh hops smell I have encountered. It is balanced for the amount of hops as it goes down. On the pallet, there is a hop explosion with malts coming out. The finish is an awesome bitter bite. foundmd (163), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA Aug 8, 2008 Updated: Feb 19, 200922oz bottle. Pours a dark, golden amber/orange with a thin white head. Beautiful floral aroma with citrus, mago, and peach. Intense, balanced hops flavor with hints of citrus and pine. Incredible depth. This is a very drinkable Double IPA that has become one of my absolute favorites. An essential brew. djcoolhark (21), South Bend, Indiana, USA Aug 8, 2008 Probably my favorite beer from FFF. Unbelieveable hops taste just hits you from the first sip to the aftertaste. Citrusy taste with the bitterness of an IPA but not overpowering in the least bit. This one manages to take every IPA taste out there and put it all in one beer without over-emphazising any one taste. Somehow FFF manages to get their typical brewery taste into this one in full force. stefanje (937), (Santee) San Diego, California, USA Aug 7, 2008 650ml bottle from Secret Santa (sprinkle), Pours a translucent copper color with a small quickly diminishing off-white head. The aroma is classic IPA with citrus and pine. The flavor is biter hops forward with caramel and pine filling in the sides nicely. The alcohol is well hidden. The mouthfeel is full, malty and a bit syrupy. The finish is medium in duration with lingering hops and caramel. Overall: A very fine IPA/DIPA, but not better than fresh stuff from Ballast Point, Alesmith or Coronado. Still I’m quite grateful for the chance to drink a bottle, thanks mike. Beatanalyst (10), Bensenville, Illinois, USA Aug 7, 2008 The best Double IPA PERIOD!!! Pours a very faint yellow with a very tiny head. Aroma of extreme hops and earthly tones. The flavor rushes in with some of the best hops I have ever tasted. ptyoung33 (2), Indianapolis, Indiana, USA does not count Aug 6, 2008 By far the best Imperial IPA I have ever enjoyed! Wonderful hop presence and flavor. I highly recommend it! lassem (296), Copenhagen, Denmark Jul 31, 2008 Thank you Mikkel for serving this hoppy bastard.
First of all i want to give my respect to those guys who are making the labels for Three Floyds - You are doing a fantastic job...
Bottle 75 cl. Pours all yellow moisty body with a fine thin white head.
What a aroma..soooo hoppy with traces of fruity tee and winegums. The palate is so agressive with an overwhelming and expanding nature with a tickeling finish. In the flavour i taste dry and bitter flowering hops, fields of blooming flowers and som rusty iron. The finish is very bitter and the hoppy bitterness will stay in your throat for a long time.
