Three Floyds Pride & Joy

LOOK!!! Over there on the right side of the page! I just added a new search function to the blog so you can quickly look up a specific beer or you can also easily see all of the beers I've reviewed and written about from a particular brewery.

Today I revisit one of my favorite breweries whose beers I have featured on theshttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gife pages many times before. Three Floyds Brewing in Munster, Indiana has consistently produced a wide range of wonderful beers and in my humble opinion, some of the best hoppy beers being made in the Midwest! They also have a great brewpub with some mighty tasty food that's well worth making a trip to. (Be aware it's a popular spot that does get crowded at times!)

This is one of their year-round beers...Pride & Joy, which is their American "Mild Ale". Coming in at 5.0% ABV, it's an easy drinker while not sacrificing flavor. Pours with a great golden orange color and a healthy two fingers of sticky foam. Soft malts with a caramel undertone along with bright citrus hops, grapefruit and orange come to mind.



First sip brings much of the same, a soft, smooth malt backbone with a light bready tone and a kiss of caramel quickly followed by wonderful citrus hops. Fruity with just enough bitterness on the way down. Well balanced and refreshing.

This is a great session beer and refreshing on a warm sunny day. I would say it's a good transition beer for anyone out there that hasn't ventured into craft beer very much as well. Seek this one out at your local package store or go to the source and drink it on tap!

Overall this earns a rating of Great. Always a favorite of mine and an easy choice when grabbing a sixer.
