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.” 100 IBU 9.5%ABV

Bottle from st.fun. Thanks josh! I new from the minute I popped the top that this one was gonna be good. Huge floral hop aroma filled the room. Despite the huge floral, citrus, resiny hop flavor, the lactose adds a nice creamy sweetness and complexity not noted in your average iipa. Very good and very fresh.

Gotten in a trade as part of BIF Race ’09, this double IPA poured clear bodied, had a glowing orange color, and displayed lively carbonation and formed a small but stable head. The aroma of this beer was the most earthy-floral hop smell I’ve ever experienced, The floral quality was further enhanced by the honey like swell of the malt. The taste was sweet-spicy, and was propelled by hops, just as any good DIPA should be. The beer was creamy in the mouth, with the carbonation assisting in this department big time. A spicy aftertaste and warm burn finished things off. Many thanks for BA alleykatking for the opportunity to try this.

22 oz bomber courtesy of the beerapprentice. Pours a clear orange vistalite with a medium white head. Perfumy aroma of grapefruit citrus, floral tones, piney hops and tropical fruit. Taste of grapefruit, papaya, mango, pine and bitter hops. Slight malt flavor. Another gem from 3 Floyds.

Bottle Trade from my friend Scott...Thx buddy. Pours a hazy copper with thin white head. The head makes good lacing. Has a good citrus aroma of oranges, mangos, and tangerines. Has good carbonation. Very well blended. Has a very slight alcohol burn which is quite enjoyable. The flavors are real good. Has a mild bitterness. Has a thicker texture. The mouthfeel is great. Has a fantastic finish with a great aftertaste. This is a very tasty beer. I will take all I can get of this.

Not normal but wonderfully so. Sampled from a 22 oz brown bottle this beer poured a viscous murky apricot color with a small white head that lingered. The aroma was full and strong with sweet pine and fruity hops. The flavor was tangy, sweet, bitter and full of piney and fruity hops. The finish was long, tangy, fruity and sourish with a thick and full mouthfeel and sweet hoppy residuals that would not leave. Excellent.

bottle from O’Donnell’s in Ft Wayne, draft from Trion in New Haven, IN - Copper pour with some light haze and a small white head. It has a big citrus hops aroma with ample grapefruit presence. The flavor is of course big on the hops and they’re great quality hops. The balance is excellent for the style as the malt and lactose smooth it out. I was skeptical reading the label, but the lactose sugar is definitely noticeable as this beer warms and works really well. Full bodied with easy going carbonation, this brew finishes crisp and bitter. Excellent!

from 22oz bomber. poured copper in color with a small white head that left little lacing on the taster glass. Aroma of floral, resiny hops, grapefruit, and light caramel. Mouth feel is very smooth and creamy, which works well with this one. Tastes of citrus and piney hops, sweet malt. Very nice. I really enjoyed this and could have drank a ton of it.
