Three Floyds Cimmerian Sabretooth Berserker Double India Pale Ale

 Three Floyds Cimmerian Sabretooth Berserker Double India Pale Ale.

9% ABV, 100 IBU, Three Floyds Brewing, Munster, Indiana. 

Clear, dark golden hue, solid slab of ivory froth atop.

In the nose: peach, tangerine, orange peel, apricot. Slightly sweet and very fruity. Enticing.

In the mouth: bitterness comes up front, not too bracing or piercing, just flavorful enough to play on the palate. Just a little juicy, redolent of the above mentioned fruits, with a jolt of grapefruit and a trickle of pine. More malty, sweet and juicy. Medium bodied, and remarkably smooth for a brew so big. 

I’m a sucker for all 3 Floyds DIPAs. They all work on some level. None of them truly lets me down. This one delights me, not as much. They can’t all be Permanent Funerals and Arctic Panzer Wolves. 

In the seemingly endless cruelty, battle and strife of the Hyborian Age, a warrior has but two pleasures: decimating one’s enemies in battle, and a horn of Cimmerian Sabertooth Berzerker to slake the thirst of victory.
