This is my first Three Floyds’ beer -- been looking forward to this day for quite some time now. Big thanks to StFun for hooking me up! Good sized, quickly dissipating head. Beautiful ruddy gold, amber color. Strong, hoppy aroma (Big on the Cascades). Taste is wonderfully balanced -- hoppy but the malt smooths it out nicely. Really great aftertaste. Reminds me a lot of Bells’ Two Hearted. All in all a really awesome beer.

Terrific Probably one the best Pale Ale I’ve had to date. Great flavor...hoppy, touch of orange/citrus. Cloudy orange/amber color. Really good Pale...looking forward to trying more Three Floyds beers

12oz bottle courtesy of Acknud. Poured a beautiful rusty amber with a big, rocky off white head. Lacing on the glass was abundant. Big citrus hop aroma with a nice malty and somewhat bitter finish.

Three Floyds Alpha King is a very good Pale Ale. I enjoyed the strong and smooth flavor as this beer tastes great going down.

Thank you Daniel TheCheeseMan! Red-golden with a huge, nice and creamy head. The aroma is wonderfully hoppy with loads of spruce, fruit, citrus and caramel. The flavour has citrus, pomelo, oranges, spicy mango, papaya, caramel and a nice, slightly dry, bitterness in the finish. This is a really, really nice beer!

Out of a bottle, poured a nice amber color. Smelled sweet and hoppy. Taste a nice bitterness. Leaves a nice lacing on the glass. Good pale ale. *****UPDATE****** Stfun just hooked me up with a "fresh" bottle. Big head on this one, followed by a good lacing. Aroma of sweet malts and hops. Redish-brown in color. Taste is really sweet up front, but a nice bitterness in the aftertaste. Good texture and easy to drink, I can see why people would like/love this but I guess APA are not my cup of tea. Thanks josh for sending this one again!

pours a beautiful deep blood orange with a thick frothy head that lasts. aroma is sweet grapefruit with a flavor that has hints of apple and a nose breath of alcohol. Palate felt slightly watered down which I wasn’t expecting. Over all, a little disappointed since i’d been assured it would be great by people I trust - I’m guessing this might have been a bad bottle - i’m in CA and it’s hard to find.
