Tasting Notes
A few quick facts to get you acquainted with this beer:
  • A collaboration between Portland's Gigantic Brewing and Three Floyds out of Munster, Indiana
  • This is a pale ale, but it's an English pale ale, which means that it doesn't just taste like a lighter, less-aggressive IPA
  • There is a quote from Lemmy Kilmister on the bottle ("We want to be the band that if we move in next door to you, your lawn would die") ...which is awesome, because that quote, Lemmy, and Motorhead are all awesome
  • Artwork by Jay Howell, which is super-awesome
Taste? Taste is pretty awesome, too... really strong citrus-flavored hops, backed with really strong toasted malt flavors. A hint of smooth creaminess. A tad bit of spiciness lingers on the tongue. Surprising, and surprisingly awesome. I'm not sure who introduced the brewers at Gigantic and the folks at Three Floyds, but cheers to whoever it was -- this beer is pretty damn righteous.
