On tap at Arts and Crafts Amsterdam Ave. Pours orange brown. Caramel, grapefruit, biscuit, tangerine. Good body. Excellent.
From a 12 oz. can. Attractive copper-amber pour under a lasting tan head. Clean aroma but also bready malt and a floral hop presence. The body is around medium. Sweet taste with a moderate bitterness to finish it up.
Smooth IPA perfection... take your time!
Light hop and malt aroma. Clear red color with a medium off white head. Light bitter beginning that fades in the finish. Light palate.
Can from Joe Canal’s. Clear yellow amber with thick offwhite head. Spicy hopped aroma with orange and lime. Very smooth with rich mixture of citrus and a little malt. Solid

16-ounce can pours slightly hazy golden orange with a bubble beige 1/16" head and residual lacing. Aroma: citrus fruit medley. Flavor: grapefruit, orange, honey, toast, white pepper, salt and vinegar potato chips. Mouthfeel: medium-bodied.
Can. Cloudy amber copper with a off white head and laces well. Aromas of floral hops, grapefruit, pine, caramel and bread. Flavor is pine floral notes, bread, grapefruit and light caramel. Medium bodied, smooth with a dry, slight bitter finish. Moderate carbonation.
Can (10/5/20) pour from Total Wine & More, Burlington. Appearance is lightly hazy amber-light brown with tons of sparkle, finger-plus beige head with excellent retention and nice, soapy lacing. Aroma is mix of dank pine resin and citrus over caramel malts. Taste is strong dank pine resin over caramel malt and mild citrus. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, frothy texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, glad for the opportunity to have quintessential Three Floyd's--extremely well crafted and a classic in the annals of craft brewing. A great representative of its moment in time.
Pine, lemon, melon aroma. Slight reddish brown copper color. Biscuity, lemon, melon flavor.
Great pale ale . Perfectly balanced. Pine resin and caramel malt in aroma. Hoppy taste with strong malty backbone.
Pours a luxurious russet from a can. Caramel, pine and grass in the nose, rather light. Similar flavor. Slightly dry. Good beer.
For a pale ale this is one very impressive beer! Very nice flavors that are well blended together. Very nice aftertaste!
440 ml can. Unclear amber with a big fluffy foamy head. Dried fruits (plum, raisins, dates), caramel, pine, grassy herbal hops, lemon zest, grapefruit, some chocolate, some nut. Malty caramel sweetness, dry piney hoppy bitterness. Full bodied, oily texture, soft carbonated, dry herbal bitter sweet finish. A very unusual APA, but really nice one!

Delicious
From a can. Poured clear amber with a touch of gold. Tight, 3-finger bone-colored head. Aroma of caramel malt mixed with mild citrus and resin hop notes. Full-bodied and slightly thick. Finish is long, with an astringent dryness. Flavor is hoppy, with pine and citrus notes, but well-balanced by a solid backbone of caramel malt.
(Can) Clear medium caramel body with a big off-white head, some lacing. Pine hops and caramel aroma, some fruit (peach, melon). Light to medium body, oily mouthfeel, slight soft carbonation. Moderately sweet caramel malt, dry piney hops.
Amber with a white head. Aroma of biscuit malt and citrus fruit, orange and pineapple, faint trace of tea. Taste a beautiful balance of sweetness and bitterness. Top notch.
Copenhagen 25/8 2020. 47,3 cl can from Mikkeller web-shop. Drawing of quite aggressive and very green King on the can. Very Alpha - and not very pleasant.
Pours slightly unclear amber with a big off-white head. Stable. Settles eventually as thin layer of foam struggling to cover the surface of the beer. Substantial lacing.
Aroma is medium intense with a sweet malty odor mingling with citrus fruits. Sweet biscuits and caramel. Stone fruit and pineapple. Lime and unripe gooseberries.
Light carbonation. Medium thick, soft, smooth texture with a very light tingling to it.
Flavor is intense with a medium sweetness followed by a stronger citric bitterness. Aftertaste is citric and bitter. Lingers for a while. Dry finish.
Sweet biscuits meets a solid pile of hops. Nice and dry one.
16 oz can. Pours orange with tall, long-lasting, fluffy white head. Aroma is of piney hops, tropical fruit and caramel malt. Body is medium and slightly crisp. Taste is of herbal hops, ripe fruit, spices, some alcohol and caramel malt. Finish is long and very hoppy. Unique, delicious Pale Ale.
Off white foamy head stayed on a clear reddish brown still body.
Bitter, tea & spiced aroma.
Medium bodied, sharp with a clean back.
Bitter hops, spiced, tea & pithy tastes & a long tangy finish.
Old school & excellent
Can, 44 cl @home. Pours a clear dark golden with a frothy offwhite head. Aroma is lime and a little malt. Taste is dry and bitter with burnt caramel and grapefruit. Medium - high carbonation, medium body, refreshing. A nice beer.
De Mikkeller webshop. En copa Teku. Jugando a Eventide 3. Enlatada 29 Junio 2020. Bastante resinosa y con bastantes notas maltosas a galleta. Correcta pero pega de cuerpo excesivamente ligero y se hecha en falta algo mas de sabor. Lejos de la excelencia de su zombie dust
From my good friend Grant
Aroma: Strong malt character, with heavy toasted notes, low levels of melons. Hops lift the body but I am not picking up a noticeable/ distinct aroma.
Appearance: Rich deep orange color with an off- white head consisting of mostly Tiny Bubbles and a few medium hugging the edge of the glass lacing is low to moderate, retention is good.
Flavor: Huge malt body with sweet notes of raisins, rich and lightly toasted. There are tropical fruit flavors, a salt water taffy candy like sweetness, but not cloying. The Hops are a bit of grapefruit and a nice balance of bitterness at the end. Balance is malty, finish is slightly dry, and the aftertaste is a little bitter but not harsh.
Mouthfeel: (body, carbonation, warmth, creaminess, astringency, and other pallet Sensations)
Thick body, medium carbonation and low alcohol warmth. Well the impression shouldn't be creamy, the thickness and the bubbles feel tiny making the impression creamy. Medium astringency from the bittering Hops.
Overall: A rich malty Pale Ale, the body thick with a slight sweetness what a good balance of hops to thin out the sweetness not making it cloying. A very rich but well hopped malty beer.
Light malt and citrus aromas. Dark amber and clear in color with massive long lasting head. Nice malt backbone balanced with notes of grapefruit, Light tangerine and pine, faint resin.
Not bad apa.6.6% on tap at bartolinis
Bottle, early 2018. Biscuits, light caramel, citrus, herbs, pine, dry herbal finish. Simple, effective, very tasty.
Pours a murky copper with very little head.......aroma of dank resinous earth, citrusy.....taste is mildly dank, Earth, tea, even bitterness, quite a swill.
