Three Floyds Alpha Khan Mongolian Pale Ale

Formerly brewed at Three Floyds Brewing Company
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Munster, Indiana USA

On tap at the brew pub: Big hop presence, had an earthy pine thing going on. It was quite good, though it probably scores some extra points because of the atmosphere of the day.

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.

always see it on tap but never tried it till DLD.a more hop up version of alpha king this is a solid awesome beer if you like the KING you will love the KHAN CHEERS to the guys for alittle experiment I love when they try new stuff they always do good with it.

On tap at the brewpub. I don’t detect much in the way of the "light spices" but I do detect big hops. Comes across as Alpha Kings brooding older brother. Solid brew but Alpha King still kicks its ass.

Quite an interesting IPA - instead of the usual, strong citrus flavor, one is treated to some strawberry and even cherry, and then some background sweetened grapefruit and orange - hops? you bet - but never becomes overpoweringly bitter - refreshing and full-flavored, which is hard to pull off.

Poured a hazy amber color with a medium sized, white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of pine, citrus fruits, floral hops, orange peel, and rose petals. Taste of citrus fruits, herbal spices, sweet bubblegum, and a medium, bitter grapefruit finish.

reddish appearance, limited yellowish head. very hoppy, fruity aroma, kinda orange actually. very obviously a three floyds, kinda syruppy flavor. spicy too. a nice variation, but probably not as great as the other ffff brews.

This beer introduces itself with an aroma consisting of hops, malt, pine, and citrus fruit. The glass is filled with an amber solution that resides under a thick cashew colored head. The mouth is perked to attention with the flavors offered in this beer. There is a strong hops that presence tingles with a vigorous intervention of pine. The beer flows down the throat leaving a nice robust citrus pine hops taste lingering long after the swallow. I couldn’t get enough of this beer! I held my friends up, who wanted to stop by Flossmoor on the way home, by always going back and getting another glass of this sensational solution of suds. Flossmoor didn’t matter anyway because my taste buds were blown.
