Bottle compliments of Wasatch, thanks John!

Pours a hazy orange gold with heaps of long lasting foam. Lacing is pretty impressive as well.

I get caramel malt, lemon and orange citrus in the smell. The hops also impart a berry like aroma.

Orange, more like a tropical fruity with berries taste and caramel malt sweetness that kicks it into balance overdrive. Malt gets somewhat earthy after more than a few sips but more of a toasted malt flavour.

Light side of medium bodied, excellent carbonation.

So tasty.

Tasted in a Spiegelau IPA glass from a 22 fl oz bottle on December 31, 2017. Look is dark amber with a thick head and spotty lacing. Smell is floral with sweet malt notes. Taste is malty and earthy with hints of citrus and tropical fruit. Feel is medium in body.

 

 

 

22 oz. Bomber

Pours a pretty nice slightly hazy dark golden orangy color, pretty nice carbonation, with a pretty nice thick/creamy one-finger off-white head, which leaves some nice sticky lacing behind. The nose is malty, some hops, some citrus complex (orange, tangerine). The taste is pretty nice, malty, some sweetness, slight hop, nice little citrus complex (orange, tangerine). Medium body, ABV hidden very well, nice little dry/bitter finish. Overall, this one surprised me, pretty tasty.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bottle poured into a BarrelHouse Brewing Co pint glass

A: Pours golden orange amber with a frothy light tan head that settles to a light layer and leaves some nice lacing.

S: Slightly toasty biscuity malt, floral notes, citrus, hints of tropical fruit and spice, and caramel sweetness.

T: Floral, citrus, orange, lemon, tropical fruit, mango, papaya, slightly earthy spice, toasty biscuity malt, and honey sweetness.

M: Medium body, moderate carbonation.

O: For a collaboration between Gigantic and 3 Floyds I was expecting something a little more intense, but for an English Pale it's quite nice.

 

 

 

a neat pale ale, apparently brewed in collaboration with the famous three floyds. subtle nuance in familiar styles is something i have been more and more interested in lately, and the grain profile on this beer is awesome. its maybe loosely english, very earthy, toasted, warming, full, even mildly peaty or something, still dry though, which makes an interesting and drinkable pale ale that looks pretty in the glass. the hop profile is grassy and nicely bitter, but sort of mild as they go. this whole thing is all fairly subtle, but its different enough to stand out for me. kind if interesting in that i know both these breweries to be a little more brash and obvious with things, so this was a cool surprise. smooth mouthfeel, slight nuttiness to the malt later on, and a flavorful ale yeast that dries it out nicely in the finish. lingering citrusy bitterness is all that remains after the swallow. a soft honey note throughout and the wet earthy grain are what i will remember most. cool beer, i could drink this indefinitely.
