East coast vs west coast...a battle that has been waged for years in many forms. Now there arises a brew that strives to unite the two sides. This IPA bursts with an inviting hop aroma in conjunction with a carefully selected monastic yeast strain. It delivers unexpected, yet delectable flavor. Case closed?

Draft from habitat. Orangey pour white head. Kind of a nonthreatening IPA not as harsh as some. OK.

Clear, deep gold with a tall, off-white head. Grainy, citrus hop aroma. Slightly yeasty, citrus taste. Sharp orange peel bitter. Belgian-ish, but also has a little pale lager element to it. Different.

Bottle. Banana-orange, clove, and wheat malt? aroma. Clear pale amber with a large white head. Sweet orange, clover and herbal hops flavor. Medium body, soft carbonation. Rather strange IPA

Bottle. Orange pulp, banana, clove and malt aroma. Hazy pale yellow with moderate head. Sweet orange, banana, and malt. Mildly bitter clove and orange peel finish. More wheat characteristics than IPA.

Location: 22 oz bottle from Buy Rite, 3/14/13

Aroma: The nose has lots of citrus rind, some clove, pepper, floral notes, and a bit if grass
Appearance: It pours a clear golden color with a small white head and some drippy lace
Flavor: The taste has lots citrus rind hop bitterness, some spice, and a light malty sweetness
Palate: The body is medium, it feels fairly crisp, has a pretty fizzy carbonation, and a fairly dry finish
Overall Impression: This isn't a top notch IPA, but it is plenty drinkable. I like this beer well enough, but I didn't enjoy it as much as the other Three Heads IPA (The Kind), Like I said, this beer is plenty fine, but if you are only going to get one Three Heads IPA, and for some reason you are reading my review for a recommendation, I'd recommend the other one.

Definitely an IPA and Belgian ale hybrid. Hazy golden with a white head. Aroma is citrus, Belgian yeast, herbal. Medium bodied. Flavor is similar to the aroma. More of a distinct IPA and Belgian ale mix than one that really melts together. Still, solid brew.

22oz bottle-pours cloudy gold/orange with a huge light tan head that laces. Aroma is floral/citrus rind, yeast-pepper/clove, light malt-bready. Taste is floral/citrus rind/spice hops, yeast-pepper/clove, light malt-bready, some fruit. Some drying at the finish.
