Let the 3 Floyds triumph continue. These guys are out there, but it's a ride I enjoy quite a bit. Are they kind of all over the place? Well, yes. Did they hit the famed 5.0/5 rating from me? Yes. I want them to keep cranking out beers, and I want to try them all. I won't always get the best beer, but I think this rollercoaster is worth the ticket to ride it.
The hazy yellow beer has a white head that simmers down to an island in the middle and an incomplete ring around the sides. The ring reminds me of the alien language that they used in Arrival. The aroma isn't good. It smells of burnt rope and possibly resin. It is not good, and (aside from coffee) I don't know that I have smelled a beer that has made me more apprehensive to actually drink it.
Bottom Line: Not what I like.
First sip is not as bad as the smell, but it's not what it needs to be. It's like they took a somewhat fruity beer and they used it to wash off their chain sword. It's dry in the wrong spots, not fruity enough anywhere, and exceptionally dull overall. Honestly, I can't even imagine a world where the full swig changes this from a loser to a winner, but I have a process.
Tip-in is weak fruit skins, moderate carbonation, and a cracker malt. The middle becomes perfectly acceptable (if not a bit bland) with fruit mildly flowing with the water. The finish is dry and bitter, and the resin comes out when it's least expected for the trail off.
Bottom Line: Not what I like.
1.0/5
