Three Floyd's brewery is becoming one of my favorite breweries in the country. They continue to make solid beer that is a bit "not normal" and I like it. Today's review, is a seasonal release by Three Floyd's, usually coming out in July, Apocalypse Cow. This beer is an double IPA brewed with lactose sugar, giving this beer a different taste and take on the style. Coming in at 9.5% ABV this double IPA is very drinkable and balanced. Bottled in 22 oz bottles and priced anywhere from $10.99- $12.99, this beer is worth the buy. Furthermore, Apocalypse Cow is best enjoyed out a snifter glass or tulip glass, this will allow the intriguing characteristics of this beer to be more noticeable. A 9.6 oz serving of this beer should be enough, but one can easily drink down this monster cause it so good. Lastly, this beer makes a great summer time BBQ beer as it pairs nicely with grilled meets, grilled or cedar planked salmon. Make sure to pick up a few bottles of this brew, it does go fast and it is limited.
Color: Hazy bright yellow/orange. Forms a frothy white one finger head as well. Leaves behind a good amount of lacing.
Nose: Big time citrus and fruit: Oranges, grapefruit, tart tangerine, and peach. pleasant sweetness from the malt and lactose sugar. The hop body brings forth some pine and wet Forest smells.
Palate: Balanced between the sweetness and hoppiness. Full bodied and very drinkable, the carbonation is just right. petite waves of creaminess coat the tongue and then are washed away by the taste of fruit. Very very nice.
Finish: Long with some dryness. Wonderfully complex and sharp. Three Floyd's brewery really know how to use hop and each beer is always a surprise.
