Three Floyds Live a Rich Life

The Three Floyds Brewing Company is in Munster, Indiana. This is their 9.5% ABV Belgian-style Double India Pale Ale. It has 100 IBU's. It is brewed in memory of Rich Sheppard, a deceased employee.

The beer pours a hazy to cloudy amber and apricot in color. There is a tall, thick, foamy head of off-white. The aroma is yeasty, fruity, tangy, malty, bready, doughy, floral, oranges, and ripe melons. The taste follows the aromas, lots of different flavors going on, but all well balanced with each other into a nice whole. There is sweetness, but the finish has a moderate floral bitterness. The beer drinks smooth and round. This is quite nice.
