Ale brewed with Rice
Behold! The fifth collaborative effort of Three Floyds and Mikkeller. This complex ale is just the beverage for canal boat trips in Copenhagen or the brutal Chicago winter. This year’s offering will be brewed in both Europe and in Chicago. Look for both editions and the subtle differences in each. Cheers and thanks for supporting craft beer.
Admin note: Check the bottle to see if this is the one brewed at Three Floyds, rather than the Mikkeller brewed version.

22 oz. bottle, pours a hazy golden with a medium white head. Nose is full of white chocolate, rice, some caramel, and slightly sweet light fruits. Flavour of rice, caramel, some lighter fruits, a little butterscotch and white chocolate. There is just enough hop content to balance the sweetness. Quite complex, though light-bodied, and well-balanced. Excellent stuff.

Bottle. Grapefruit, tropical fruit, light pine, and caramel malt aroma. Hazy honey gold with a moderate off-white head, nice lacing. Juicy sweet tropical fruit, grapefruit, honey, resinous piney hops, caramel malt flavor. Full sticky body, moderate carbonation. Reminds me rather more of a DIPA than a barleywine.

The aroma of this beer is overwhelmingly hops. Lots of sweet citrus and tropical fruit. As it warms some pine resin appears in the back end. This must be overwhelmingly Simcoe, Centennial or loads of fresh Cascade. No malt character in aroma but there is some alcohol noticeable. Pours a very clear golden orange with a quarter inch tall white head that slowly but steadily recedes to the edges of the glass. Flavor is fairly sweet with little malt character, just a hint of cracker and caramel. Flavor has more of a hop resin flavor but is still dominated by citrus, especially grapefruit as well as some tropical fruit. Solid bitterness in the finish helps hide the alcohol, but the alcohol is noticeable. Alcohol is clean and not fusel. The mouthfeel is a touch thin, but that is how I prefer my IPAs so I like this but it definitely isn't a barleywine of any type that I am aware of. Mouthfeel, while on the thin side, is still smooth and almost creamy. Some warming from the alcohol. Overall this is a really nice double or triple IPA with some nice northwest hop character in both the flavor and aroma. The rice is light and really lets the hops shine. The alcohol is clean and not obtrusive. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottled. An amber beer with a lazing off-white head. The aroma has notes of lemons, straw, caramel, malt, and astribgent hops. The flavor is sweet with notes of caramel, peaches, hops, alcohol, and brewing cereal, leading to a dry alcoholic finish.

Keg at CPK, London. Pours light hazy gold with a fine, white foam head. Dry citrus fruit nose, some pine and caramel. Big sweet flavor but not cloying, some dry pine needles, toasty bread, caramel, light alcohol, melon and tangerine. Full bodied with fine carbonation. Warm finish, some sticky resins, nice melon and tangerine. Good stuff, good balance, not too sweet. Great.

Bottle. Pours a clear orange gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges and laces. Aroma has a good amount of hops with a contrasting sweetness from the rice. Flavor begins with bitterness and a bit of resin but quickly becomes sweet with rice and a hint of caramel.
