Ymm, Beer

Looks like they brewed 5 versions. No malts named in any ratebeer reviews. IBUs are from 85-101 () and ABV at 7.4-7.7%.

Didn't read all the reviews but the malts must be double secret.

You might be a redneck if...


...your fishing lure has a fuse.



Well, we have a fuse here (and I'm not searching to see if we have an old redneck thread).

And yes, this has nothing to do with Ymm, Beer, but I promise to redeem myself tonight.

Was that also a single malt beer? SMASH? I've had a few of those this year.

New to me. Made me do some research .

GROAN......

I'd never give you flaming poos, and I am still laughing at this completely terrible post count inflation ;-)

3 Floyds
Floy Division
India Pale Ale I

Single hop experimental
Pineapple, citrus, coconut, mint, stone fruit and pine per the label.

My palate not that sophisticated.
Definitely get pineapple and pine.

Great stuff courtesy of my dealer, er, devildeac.

Floy Division 1 (aka FD 1 529)-Three Floyds Brewing

Pineapple-check
Pine-check
Stone fruit-nectarine, maybe?
Citrus/coconut/mint-WTH?

Sipped half a bomber last PM from a snifter. Pour was a mildly hazy, yellow-orange with a generous, meringue-like head. No sediment yet as warned by fuse in a private/secure/non-redacted communication during his consumption. Aromas and scent parallel in this one with perhaps a bit of butterscotch sweetness. IBUs were 85 and ABV was 7.5%, with both advanced stats sitting right on the IPA/IIPA boundary. Numbers were gathered from rate beer as FFF rarely puts any of their metrics on their products. Also learned from rate beer was that FFF brewed 5 variations of experimental hop IPAs, cleverly named 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. This batch was brewed on 3/2/17 and 2 bombers were bought at the brewery in early April by our younger daughter and her husband for ~$8 each. You've likely figured out by now who received the other bomber .

Necron 99-Three Floyds Brewing

An "interplanetary IPA," from their website. Would that make it a new style IIPA?

Or, is it a "scortch style ale" as the label states?

I'll let fuse figure this out.

My vote goes to the highly tasty IPA category, but, does Three Floyds really brew, err, play positions?

Pour was a light bronze with a mildly foamy, eggshell white, lingering head. Pineapple and stone fruits from first sniff. Pineapple, butterscotch, nectarine and peach on the tongue. Moderate bitterness but pretty well balanced with IBUs of 61 and ABV of 7.3%, both from their website. I'd pair with some mildly spicy fare, as I would with most IPAs/IIPAs. I think this brings my FFF samplings to about 20 now, some world class, others outstanding/standard for the style and others I'd characterize as "unusual," but always stimulating my interest in trying yet another offering.

Devil's Tramping Ground Tripel-Aviator Brewing Company

I'm going to cheat a bit and re-post this with the slight change being that this tasting was a canned version that I found little different (IIRC) from the bomber I had earlier this summer. Credit to fuse for sharing a 12 ounce can with me. Thanks and great to meet you last PM!

How can you not like this one Attachment 2886?

I found a bomber of this for $5.49 at Whole Foods last weekend and divided it over a couple nights last week and found it pleasantly surprising. I believe I had a pint of it at Mellow Mushroom a couple years ago before a show at the DPAC. Poured a slightly cloudy yellow-golden with a small fizzy head which did not linger. Aromas are floral and fruity and tastes are crisp apples, pears and candi sugar which is added in the brewing process. IBU relatively low at 31 and ABV is typical at just over 9%. I could match this with a plate of fresh fruit before dinner, a seafood main course or a cobbler for dessert. I still think I like Victory's Golden Monkey better but I'd certainly include this in a tasting during a brewery tour in Fuquay later this summer or fall.

From dinner tonight:

Devil's Tramping Ground (draft)-Aviator Brewing

This was a $3 pint draft that accompanied a couple sirloin soft tacos with a side of pimento mac n cheese at a local restaurant. Pour was a light golden-yellow with a thin, non-lingering head. It's a Belgian-style tripel so the aromas were soft and enticing and tastes marked by some orange, light brown sugar and a bit of spiciness. I think the ABV is a bit higher now at 9.2% and it's still a very mild brew with IBUs around 30. I think it would match better with chicken/seafood but it was thirst quenching this evening.

Serendipity now, Serendipity now!

On call for the weekend.

But I'm available Monday.

Voodoo Ranger Imperial IPA-New Belgium Brewing Company

CameronBornAndBred inspired me to look for this with some recent texting and Total Wine tempted me to buy a 6er with by buck off coupon yesterday so I'm out $8. A very nice drop. Poured from a 12 ounce bottle into a pint glass and appeared golden-yellow with a generous, foamy head. Enticing aromas of citrus and tropical fruits with a bit of pine. Mango, peach and grapefruit tastes with a bit of honey and a hint of resin. Pretty evenly balanced at 70 IBUs and 9% ABV. Serve with some mildly spicy Asian food or some grilled tuna or salmon with a fruited/peppery salsa. I'll save a couple more for myself and trade/gift the other 3 from the litter.

Picked up a bomber tonight at the grocery store, about to try it out.

Reminds me of Lagunitas Maximus.

I may have to start buying that regularly.

On a related note, I think I read that NoDa is brewing an imperial Coco Loco.

That may be a Monday beer after a weekend on call.

Oooh, nice comparison.

Aviator's best beer.

Likely true, but I'll let you know more after I have a can of Night Jump.

Wonder if this would work for breakfast Monday AM after a weekend of call. It is fruit-based...
