Striped iceberg

Icebergs aren’t exclusively monotone. A few nonconformists come in various colored stripes, standing out against arctic whites and blues. As water melts and refreezes on an iceberg over time, dirt and other particles can become trapped between new layers of ice, creating multicolored stripes across its surface. A variety of colors can appear. Blue stripes occur when water gets trapped between layers of ice and freezes so quickly that air bubbles cannot form. Once icebergs break off and fall into the ocean, algae or other materials present in the water can create green or yellow stripes. Up your chances of viewing striped bergs by heading south to Antarctica.

Three Floyds - Rabbid Rabbit Saison Ale

On first taste, this saison is much sweeter and deeper than other saison ales I’ve come across lately.. Matter of fact I had that Evil Twin - Beaster Bunny (what’s with all the rabbits on saison beers??) last night and noted how light it was- and that was in both flavor and mouth feel. This saison is nearly as light on body, but the flavor is much deeper.

Apparently, these crazy-ass brewers at 3F add rock candy to the this beer, so that would explain the

Successive sips and gulps yield the spice that the label proclaims, and still something more.. I feel some notable Belgian influence coming through here- overripe banana comes through in the taste, and creamy orange zest comes through on the nose.

Sweet as it is up front, it really mellows out quickly and becomes quite drinkable. As usual with Three Floyd’s, it’s not bashful with the ABV percentage. At 7.4%, I have quite the buzz going at 3/4 through theis beer.

Grade A stuff right here.
