Three Floyds - Pride & Joy


Three Floyds Pride & Joy
Three Floyds
Munster, IN
6.50% ABV


C. Very Clear
H. Golden Orange
N. Nose is big on citrus, everything else is just over powered by the hop aroma

Cerveza Chica; This beer smelled pleasant to me, very citrusy and hoppy. They say on the bottle that it’s a session beer and I could easily see it being that. It is very light and drinkable. It was nothing extraordinary. They say on the bottle that “it’s not normal”, but to me it pretty much was just like an American pale ale like they say it is. I haven’t been disappointed by Three Floyds stuff, but I am not raving about anything I have tried by them yet either. It is worth a try if you can get your hands on a bottle, but by no means should you go out of your way to get some.
Score:3.37

The Ferm; Well this one has sat in the fridge for quite some time. Was looking forward to this one since I got it, but it has fallen to the side due to the large amounts of trades that have been going on in the house. Pride & Joy like all other 3Floyds state the beer isn’t normal. Well I disagree it is pretty normal, but DAMN good in being normal. For a run of the mill APA (American Pale Ale) this one has a nice hop presence that isn’t bitter, helped by a strong malt background, this beer is sort-a sweet. Really close to what I would consider a weak IPA. Great beer for the Summer, and year round.
Score: 3.952

Overall; 3.661
