Three Floyds BrooDoo

Brewed by Three Floyds Brewing Company
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Munster, Indiana USA

2008 harvest ale. Pours clear red-tinted ruby colored body. Big perfumed dank melon and creamed orange, bright, wet, hugely green. Celery and sweet spinach, harsh, bitter, astringent, etc., assertive and aggressive, nearly impressive but a little too young and green.

Wonderful IPA - beautiful amber with grapefruity, piney nose with some mango. Lighter than Alpha king but with similar palate I thought - beautiful beer.

Amber with big, foamy beige head / Fresh pine and grapefruit nose / Light to medium body, creamy, with good balanced of malts and fresh hops, with long, dry finish / Flavors of grapefruit, fresh cut pine, caramel, leather, and bubblegum / Perfect.

Another good one from FFF. Fruit and citrus hops in the aroma and flavor. Hazy golden pour with off white head. Good bitterness.

aroma is not as overwhelming as i thought it might be, but still is delicious. darker ruby color bordering on that of an IIPA despite the low ABV here. VERY sessionable, this is relaxed. while not overly challenging, this remains interesting and overall fulfilling. unique amongst wet hop ales for its almost ’moderation’ from a brewery known for no holds barred with the green buds.

22 oz Bottle from Binny’s. Pours a dark, hazy orange with a sticky white head. The aroma is amazing. Tropical fruits, bitter hops, grapefruit, caramel, grass, some citrus rind. Flavor is bitter at first, then fruity, with some caramel before a very bitter finish. Mouthfeel medium bodied and sticky, in a good way. This beer is so drinkable I wish I’d bought a case.

[2008 release on draft sampled 10.22.08] Dark orange/amber pour with a medium off-white frothy head. Fresh piney/resin hop aroma. First taste is very very bitter and earthy, lightly sweet and floral. Pretty straightforward flavor, mostly bitter. Would also like to find a bottle of this. . . . . 8 4 8 4 15 . . . . . . . . . Bottle sampled 12.30.08. Pours a clear dark orange amber with a few bubbles and a small off-white froth. Fantastic aroma, fresh hops, piney resin, sweet, more citrus than on draft. Flavor follows, more earthy and bitter, floral, piney, lightly toasted sweet malts, a tad green. Flavors meld together really nicely and finish quite bitter, a bit soapy with notes of bubblegum. Medium bodied, fluffy carbonation, not really sticky, but more creamy. . . . 8 4 8 4 15

22oz bottle thanks to Axilla for sharing. (last years bottle). Poured hazy copper in color with a medium sized beige head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of grapefruit, and citrus hops with caramel malt. Tastes of sweet ripe citrus, grapefruit, hops, caramel, and orange peel. Very nice smooth drinking harvest ale. Very enjoyable.
