Three Floyd’s Cat Date Double IPA

 Three Floyd’s Cat Date Double IPA.

9.5% ABV, 86 IBU, Three Floyds Brewing, Munster, Indiana.

Clear, bright golden hue, slim mush, milky white head. 

In the nose: a cornucopia of citrusy delights, with a healthy dose of tropical. Lemon peel meets papaya. A little bit grapefruit, a powerful pinch of passion fruit.

In the mouth: a jolt of juice with a blast of bitter. Heavy dank and a a roar of oncoming alcohol. Ripe with resin, peeling of citrus and bitter, oily hop drippings. Medium bodied and extra potent. Glides down the gullet with both menace and ease. 

This is surely my kind of a beer. I can heap on praise and it won’t be enough. 

A categorically big Double IPA brewed to honor our little friends and their clandestine meetings. Intensely bitter with notes of citrus, grapefruit, and orange marmalade.
