6.66 % ABV (of course). 60 IBU.
Fair State Brewing, Minneapolis, MN, in collaboration with Three Floyds, Munster, IN.
A viking ship, partying hearty we presume, floats past a burning bridge. This beer is a collaboration between Three Floyds Brewpub (rather than Brewing Company) where former Surly head brewer Todd Haug now performs brewing duties (among other things) and the Fair State Brewing Cooperative, current employer of Jerrod Johnson, formerly assistant brewer at Surly, then co-head brewer after Todd's departure, and his friend. Perhaps this connection explains the meaning of the name, or other things? Perhaps.
Lightly hazed, bright crimson color. Sturdy, white, lace-leaving head holds down the fort on top.
In the nose: Spicy malt notes and bold, fruity hops.
In the mouth: Again, very assertive hop profile from the start. The usual blend of the citrus, pine, floral and other at play on the palate. Big bitterness. Juicy malt blend behind it all. I suppose the dip hopping deserves credit for the spicy, extra assertive hop presence. Past that, it truly tastes like a Furious clone, an assessment I am not alone in assigning.
Despite that, I enjoy this one. Party on, gentlemen.
Let us introduce you to “Partying Past Burning Bridges”, a collaboration with 3 Floyds Brewpub that celebrates connecting and collaborating in the name of gaining a new experience.
This is a dip hopped IPA. Dip hopping is an innovative Japanese technique, new to both 3 Floyds and Fair State Co-op, that involves hopping the wort post heat exchange, but before the introduction of yeast.
