Proper pint
On-draft in Munster at Three Floyd's Taproom!

From notes.

A: Bright yellow (almost golden, but not quite). Half (semi-fluffy white) fingernail head.

S: Mix of hops with yeasty overtones. Orange peel, mix of coriander/white pepper, and biscuit malt.

T: Loads of Belgian yeast up-front followed by hops (not too bold, but definitely there). Faint citrus fruit and dry biscuit flavors towards middle and hint of spice and more yeast towards the end. I'm looking for more balance here, but cannot seem to find any.

M: Light bodied with even carbonation.

O: An interesting beer, but not my favorite offering from Three Floyds. Light and crisp; thus, easy to drink. Worth a try, but I wouldn't order it again with the likes of Zombie Dust, Dreadnaught, and Alpha King on-tap.

On tap at the brewpub, just a low ABV option before bringing some growlers to my folks' house in the NW suburbs. Clear golden color, maybe a little chill haze, nice compact foam. Belgian yeast is fairly evident in the nose, along with some good citrusy hop character.

Very flavorful for such low alcohol content, spicy hops and very little malt in the flavor. More a Belgian IPA than a Belgian Pale. Extremely poundable, this was a great choice when pushed for time and concerned about ABV. Excellent as are most choices here.

Attractive deep saturated orange, thin layer of bone white foam that leaves some spotty bits of lace. Surface foam has a fine texture. Retention isn't as blatantly Belgian as it could be, no billowing head of long lasting foam, but it looks nice enough.

Lightly sweet tangerine aroma, soft banana, clove, and grassy herbs. Very much focused on the Belgian yeast, with some lightly citrus from the hops in the background.

Big citrusy flavor, with a hefty earthy hop presence. Dry weedy herbs, clove phenols. Dry grassy bitterness lingers seemingly forever in the aftertaste. Creamy feel, very soft and medium bodied. Easy drinking, deceptively hidden abv. Nicely bitter and dry, a pleasantly hoppy Belgian Pale. The second runnings of Shark Pants... sounds like a good name for a novel.
