Three Floyds Live A Rich Life Belgian Style Double India Pale Ale

Three Floyds Live A Rich Life Belgian Style Double India Pale Ale. 9.5% ABV. 100 IBU. Three Floyds Brewing, Munster, Indiana.

Thoroughly hazed, rich orange / golden hue, full, long lasting off-white head.

In the nose: hops are big, bold, brash here, spilling out all sorts of intense fruity esters, powerful and pungent. Alcohol ain't shy, either.

In the mouth: I'm going to want to use intense here again. Because it is. Immensely flavorful, from both malt and hops. Massive bitterness, incredible flavors, and a hearty malt ballast. Can I use intense again? It's like a triple IPA meets a barleywine, with a Belgian twist. This is right up my alley. Love it.

Good nightcap, this. Nighty-night, everybody.

This intense Belgian-style double IPA has an amazing amount of hops. This beer was brewed in loving memory of a former employee, Rich Sheppard, who passed away on 4.11.11. Try this beer and enjoy a Rich life.
