3MC's Double IPA
Homestead Beer Co.

 

 

 

Hops are kicking in this beer. Nose isn’t s grapefruit as is the taste. The aftertaste is what I love the best. The Abv is VERY evident from the beginning to the end. Great.

 

 

 

 

Appearance: Pours with the slightest haze, the amber liquid is capped by a two inch head; nice retention and a few shards of lace

Smell: Shortbread and Juicy Fruit gum; almost minty

Taste: Shortbead with a layer of treacle forms the backbone, with resinous, piney hops competing with and ultimately complementing the malt bill through the finish, Juicy Fruit in the aftertaste

Mouthfeel: Full bodied with moderate carbonation

Overall: A nice DIPA, albeit a bit too much on the sweet side for my palate

Thanks, PJ_, for the opportunity

Got the 3MCs from the beer store just around the corner. It poured a clear golden with white head that is leaving a lace. The scent has pine resin waiffs. The taste is nicely balanced for a double ipa. It reminds me of juicy fruit gum. Very good. The Mouthfeel is fuller in body with smooth carbonation. Overall this is a very solid beer and worth a try.

 

 

 

This is among the best I've ever experienced and may well become my benchmark for a creatively hopped ale that is sufficiently balanced by its malt. Brilliant hop forward ale that hits all the right citrus, floral and pine notes without any unappealing bitterness, yet the bitter is there to amplify the overall taste experience. I do hope I can find this again. I only backed into it because my local drained out its keg of Southern Tier 2X. 3MC is a revelation that reminds me again just why I first found craft beer to be so exciting over 30 years ago.

Bottle. Pours orange. West Coast hop aroma. Citrusy. Clearly malty. The flavor is maltier than the nose. Sweeter but also quite hoppy. Pretty well done. Fruitier than the nose too. It is too sweet for my liking but for a relatively big beer, this ain't bad.

 

Blown away by this honestly. Picked up a bottle of this at the beer store in Old Towne East in Columbus OH.

Look: A beautiful orange hazy unfiltered wonder

Aroma: Peach, orange juice, some grapefruit on the nose, sweet malts. Smells a lot like Julius from Treehouse

Taste: Follows the nose. Beautiful passion fruit, tangerines juicy goodness with a slight hop bittering in the end with a dry finish. The dry finish makes you want some more.

Feel: A nice carbonation which coats the mouth and leads to a wonderful dry finish.

Overall: Frankly blown away by this. This beer stands up to any of the new New England IPAs out there. This tastes so smooth it doesn't feel like a high abv beer at all. Incredible offering this.

12 oz bottle poured into Spiegelau glass no bottle date

A: big fluffy looking head with tiny bubbles body is a light amber gold with what looks like very high carbonation the beer is crystal clear

S: smells fruity and sweet. citrus tangerine like candy smell with a good bit of a caramel malt sweetness a little bit of floral smell to the hops.

T: some pineapple citrus sweetness almost like orange candy in its sweetness light bit of bitterness a lot of bread like taste and sweetness on the end alcohol is prominent in the taste.

M: very clean and light for a double IPA and a bit too much carbonation

O: meh nothing stands out as particularly drink worthy about this beer its not very fruity its a little too over carbonated and its pretty sweet. It has a little bit of a dirty water like homebrew taste to it as well. Just not a fan.

22oz bottle poured into a tulip
A: Hazy light-brown/orange with a one-finger head
S: Tons of tropical fruits with some malts, pine and citrus
T: Pine and tropical fruit up front with bitter citrus rind in the middle and some malt on the finish
M: Medium bodied, bitter
O: For those who like the bitter DIPA style this fits the bill well. It doesn't showcase any particular hop or regional style better than any other but is definltely tasty and recommended
