22 ounce bottle into tulip glass, no bottle dating. Pours lightly cloudy golden amber color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense off white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Spotty soapy lacing clings to the glass. Aromas of orange zest, tangerine, grapefruit, citrus rind, floral, grass, pine, bread, and light herbal. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of hop notes. Taste of orange zest, grapefruit, pine, floral, citrus rind, grass, bread, and herbal earthiness. Good amount of grassy pine bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of citrus, citrus rind, pine, floral, grass, bread, and herbal on the finish for a good bit. Very nice balance of hop flavors with decent complexity; good malt/hop balance; and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a lightly creamy and fairly sticky mouthfeel that is good. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a slight warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a very good IPA. Nice balance of hop flavors with good complexity; and very smooth to drink. A nicely enjoyable offering.

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.

Location: 22 oz bottle from Buy Rite, 1/3/13

Aroma: The nose has some citrus, German-style hops, yeast, spice, grains, and bread
Appearance: Pours a mostly clear orange color with a bubbly white head and some scattered lace
Flavor: Tastes grainy, light-mid sweet with some spice, some citrus, and a mildly bitter finish
Palate: The body is light-medium, it drinks nicely/easily, with average carbonation, and a light dry finish
Overall Impression: This is a very solid lager as far as I'm concerned. It's a nice, sessionable (or close enough for government work) beer. There's nothing super standout here, but nothing about it really disappoints either. Very solid.

Location: 22 oz bottle from Buy Rite, 12/23/12, My Rating #75 of 12/12, I wouldn't have gotten here without the Mayans being wrong, but then again, what did those guys know, they certainly didn't correctly predict the end of the Mayans...

Aroma: The nose is sweet and fruity, orange and grapefruit mostly, with some floral notes too
Appearance: Pours a slightly hazed orange color with a rocky white head and some light lace spots
Flavor: The taste is lightly sweet up-front, mostly citrusy, with a mid-bitter citrus and floral hop finish
Palate: Medium bodied, it has a creamy, lightly sticky feel, a soft carbonation, and a mid-dry finish
Overall Impression: Drinking this one as the Redskins almost give me a heart attack with a tight win over the Eagles, but a win is a win, so I'll take it. From a distribution perspective, this is first time I've seen Three Heads at Buy Rite (or anywhere in NJ). As for the beer itself, this is one is a quite solid, citrus-forward IPA. Maybe one could make the argument that it leans a touch too sweet for the style, but I really found that it worked well.

Pours clear gold into a shaker. White head with medium retention recedes to skim surface. Cookie and grain aromas. Medium balanced with sweet caramel upfront turning to mild bitter earth in the lasting finish.

6.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Location: 22 oz bottle from Half Time, 11/25/12

Aroma: The nose has a little coffee, a little roast, some burnt notes, earth, and hints of dark chocolate
Appearance: A dark brown beer with a huge, foamy brown head that fills the glass and leaves lots of lace
Flavor: It is not overly sweet, more roasted malts, leaning burnt, with a medium bitter/chocolate finish
Palate: The body of this one is medium, it feels a little creamy, with average carbonation, and a dryish finish
Overall Impression: Prior to purchasing this beer I had never heard of Three Heads, but if there is any place to learn about a small NY brewery, it has got to be Half Time. Anyway, as far as this beer goes, it is pretty solid, but nothing more. The nose is fine, the pour is fine (though maybe it has a little too much head), the taste is fine (though a touch better then the nose), and the feel is fine. Overall, "fine" really feels like the right word to describe this one.

Bottle shared by argo0. Thanks! Beer poured a hazy golden yellow color with a small white head. Aroma is a standard lager - some grain, grass, yeast characters. Drinks pretty clean - was okay.
