Congratulations! Welcome to flavor country. This most recent FFF’s pale ale has just the malt backbone to support an explosive juicy hop profile derived from a new blend of proprietary hops. Cheers.

12 ounce bottle served in a flute
Appearance is vibrant with a deep golden hue and it is completely see through when held up to the light, nice lacing on side of glass, great head retention, fluffy and creamy
Smell is strong citrus up front with a big pineapple presence, also oranges and lemons, pine really comes out the more it warms, huge hop profile which is quite aggressive for a session ale
Taste did not have excessive bitterness as aroma suggested, instead malt body balanced nicely with a piney flavor, hints of biscuit and honey coated bread shine through, hop profile does not back seat but is not too forward either, large caramel hints round out dryness well, very impressed with how the taste of the grains is not overwhelmed even though it is a hop centric pale ale
Mouthfeel is a bit prickly with just the right amount of carbonation, quite refreshing, seems a bit thin at times especially considering how malty it was at times
If this beer was accessible in California, I could imagine drinking this regularly, especially in the summer months light on the palate without compromising flavor, no cloying sweetness or heaviness, just a crisp drinkable ale from 3 Floyds

To the untrained observer, my machinations may be hard to pick up on. Sure, brewery horizontals are fairly straightforward & obvious, but transitions and other subtleties may not be. My previous beer was an Evil Genius, but now I am segueing over to 3 Floyds as part of my next horizontal as I keep working to eradicate the backlog here at Chez Woody. It's the pesky, confounded bottles that I will not miss as they are emptied, rinsed & placed in the recycling bin.
From the Bottle: "American Session Ale"; "Welcome to flavor country. This Pale Ale has just the malt backbone to support an explosive juicy hop profile derived from a new blend of proprietary hops. We hope you'll enjoy it."; "Label: Zimmer-Design.com".
I was anxious to welcome 3 Floyds back to PA after a distro hiatus on their part. I started by Pop!ping the cap on this one & following that with a slow, gentle C-Line pour into the awaiting glass. It foamed nicely enough, forming just over a finger of foamy, soapy, rocky, eggshell-white head with decent retention. Color was deep enough for me to consider it a solid Amber (SRM = > 7, < 9) with NE-quality clarity. Nose had a peach/apricot/pear fruitiness along with a light pine/eucalyptus mintiness. Yum! Mouthfeel was a solid medium. The taste was an interesting admixture of fruit flavors, from the softer peach/apricot/pear as noted on the nose to a sweet tropical combination of mango/papaya/passion fruit to a sharp, citrusy sharpness of grapefruit/orange/tangerine. Yum! Finish was semi-dry with the fruit flavors finally being joined again by the pine/eucalyptus mintiness. Yum Yum! YMMV.
