Three Floyds Pride and Joy 3000 Mild Ale.
5 % ABV, 42 IBU.
Brewed and bottled by Three Floyds Brewing Company, Munster, IN. It's Not Normal.
When this one came out a few weeks back, I wasn't sure if I needed to include it here in the Nib. After all, I had already reviewed Pride and Joy way back eight years ago. But this is different. This is Pride and Joy 3000. Instead of a raving mad jester on the label, it has a sci-fi alien monster carving some bleeding skulls. That has to mean it's different, right? Let's find out...
Absolutely clear, bright golden hue, slim white head.
In the nose: Moderate happiness, citrus notes.
In the mouth: Bold, fresh, hoppy as heck. Light-bodied, with long-lasting mild bitterness upon the palate. Easy-drinking, but with plenty of flavor. Orange and grapefruit, lemon and lime. Tasty, tasty stuff.
This tastes more like an American Pale Ale, than an English Mild Ale, although I have to admit my experience with those beers isn't as extensive.
A smooth, medium-bodied session beer with bright citrus hop aroma and finish. Our interpretation of an American Mild Ale.
Oh, okay, that makes sense, I guess.
