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 please to drink, and once again, "Not Normal."

7.2/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
Bottle: Poured a bright golden color ale with a relatively large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of citrus and tropical hops is quite present with some sweet notes being also easily perceptible. Taste is also dominated by huge citrus notes with some tropical notes also noticeable. Sweet notes are easily perceptible and maybe a tad too much for my own taste. Body is about average with somewhat of an oily texture and good carbonation with no apparent alcohol. Interesting but too sweet for my taste buds and therefore a bit of a disappointment considering the brewery.

Taste comprises caramel malts, sugars, bitter grapefruit, orange pith, juicy tropicals. Medium bodied with bite, fine carbonation, agressive hop bitterness and light booze in the finale. Solid DIPA.

Bottle via trade with George, shared at Jack’s farewell tasting. It pours clear golden-amber with a large off-white head. The nose is juicy tangerine, orange, passion fruit, sherbet and light pine. The taste is smooth, bitter-sweet, pine, zesty orange, grapefruit, tangerine, passion fruit, icing sugar and some alcohol with a clean finish. Medium body, fine carbonation and foamy mouth-feel. In reality probably a touch sweet for my liking, but it is smooth, tasty and rather easy drinking....

Bottle at Bruce’s in London. Many thanks to Paul. Pours lightly hazy with a bubbly white head. Semi-ripe citrus aroma, a bit of dry pine, tangerine. Medium sweet flavor, lots of dry, bitter pine and straw, orange, mango, light alcohol. Full bodied with fine to average carbonation. Finish is warming and fairly resinous, some sugary citrus, orange, a bit of white bread, nectarine. Quite tasty.

22oz bottle poured into an english pint. Pours a clear rust orange with minimal head. Aroma of light citrus and pine with caramel. Taste is light bitter and medium sweet. Citrus and resinous pine with loads of caramel and toffee on the back end. Full bodied with a sticky texture. Lively carbonation and a long boozy finish. Overall, not bad. Not as good as i was expecting.

Bottle. Pours clear orange amber with a medium creamy white head and great lacing. Aroma is somewhat disappointing, piney, with just a touch of citrus and caramel. Flavor is better, light sweet, light to medium bitter, citrus and pine dominate, with a touch of tropical. Mouthfeel is indeed creamy, body is medium.

On draft at the brew pub. Pours a cloudy gold with an off white head. Grassy hops with a pronounce sweet malt backbone. Bitter finish. Not of the caliber of dreadnaught, but pretty damn good.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy orange with small frothy off white head leaving spotty lacing. The aroma is floral hop, pine, and grapefruit. Thin mouthfeel with sweet hop and strong citrus flavor with nice light bitter finish. Easy to drink, a very good IIPA from Three Floyds.

11.0% version. Hazy amber - gold beer, tidy white head. Smooth soft palate. Mild fine carbonation. Creamy malt, airy. Sweet pine and tangerine pith with sweet tropical fruits. A little aniseed. Smooth finish. Another soft light DIPA from Three Floyds. Effortless quality as usual!
