An average sized off-white head that slips quickly into a dark orange brew below. Fresh fruity aroma with lots of citrus notes. Smooth and well balanced. Not as hopped up as I would have expected from Three Floyds for the style, but well done.

Thanks to JDSkinns for this bottle. Pours out a slightly cloudy light orange color with a thin white head. Aroma is of pine and grapefruit hops and some fruitiness. Taste is complex and full bodied for only the 5.5% ABV. Flavors of grapefruit and other citric hop flavors mix with some tropical fruit notes and a slightly dry finish. Another well done brew from 3F.

22 oz bottle thanks to Pineypower for sharing. Poured a hazed orange body with an average sized bubbly white head. Aroma starts of fruity with lots of apricot, mango, citrus rind, earth and dirty grains. The flavor has a good amount of earth and dirty citrus rind along with strong grain notes. Full bodied with a chewy mouthfeel and average carbonation. Really nice stuff and is far more full bodied and complex in aroma and flavor then the 5.5% would lead one to think.

bottle, pulpy orange brown pour with lots of foam, aroma of crystal sugar and grapefruit, has a nice citrus and malty flavor like Dread but more refined due to the alcohol, nice beer

From 22 0z bottle to tulip. Pours a deep, murky orange-amber with moderate off-white head. Aroma of light malt (caramel/bread) with much heavier hop presence - pine,peach,orange,honey. Moderate lacing lingering through finish. A very bitter beer through long finish - also a bit salty and sour. Oily resin throghout - very good but can’t help it if I’d rather have their Alpha King.

(22 oz. bottle via trade with pantanap, thanks Kan!) Pours hazy gold-amber with a tallish resiny-looking off-white head that recedes to a big, sloppy resiny cap. Aroma of big-time pine and citrus with sticky caramel and vanilla underneath. Smooth but lightly prickly palate. Big, sticky, sloppy sheets of lacing cling to the inside of the shaker and don’t let go. Flavor of big, bitter pine/citrus overlaying caramel-vanilla malt. Bitter, very bitter. Very hop-forward. Lingering bitter and light pine aftertaste. Hops are a bit abrasive, otherwise I’d give this a bit higher rating.

22 oz. bottle from the NP10V4 courtesy of tjthresh. Pours a hazy golden amber with a moderate linen white head that lasted through mid-glass and left a complete coating of lace with each sip. Very pleasant aroma of grapefruit along with some sweet malt. Often times for me, this is followed by bitter pith over-the-top bitterness. Thankfully, this is not the case with this beer. The flavor has a solid malt backbone with some caramel sweetness followed by some fruity grapefruit hops that while bitter, is not excessive. Medium-full bodied. Very enjoyable beer, thanks for sending this one, Tom!

Pours a nice translucent copper into the glass, with generous soapy lacing. The floral nose has hints of citrus and malt. Nice sweet malt, grapefruit, some peel and zest notes, and a nice, nice bitter back to finish the pull. The mouthfeel is smooth and easy, providing a nice quaff to the complexities at work. Superb IPA!

Tap @ FFF. Pours a slightly hazy copper with a nice tight bubbled off-white head. Lots of delicate lacing. Great fresh super-citrusy hop nose with a little bit of malt below. The flavor is super fresh as well, very bright and bursting with grapefruity goodness. Minimal malt thankfully, keeping the hops front and center and the alcohol within normal IPA range. Mouthfeel is medium bodied without being heavy or sticky. Lingering citrusy finish. A very nice beer to have straight from the source.
