Decent short lived off white head with some lace. Golden with lots of haze and particulates. Aroma of baked bread, passion fruit, with a bit of cattiness. Strong carbonation with a medium body. Earthy/herbal hops with a fair amount of sugary sweetness. Strong bitter finish with a noticeable amount of alcohol.

This is my first APW, thanks to mpayne5! Wow! I am loving this stuff! It feels like the wolf on the label just bit my face off. This stuff is not for beginners! A true citrus-hop bomb indeed. Pours a hazy orange-copper, with a thin creamy head that dissipates fairly quickly which is fine with me. Where do I start with the aroma? The only way I can describe it, is like freshly sliced fruit salad sitting on a bed of pine needles. I gotta say, this is one of the best smelling DIPA's I have ever had the pleasure of drinking. To say this beer is a hop-bomb is an understatement! Big hop's way up front, yet sweet and malty on the finish, and it tickles my nose like champagne. I can't say enough good things about this beer, If you see it, get it! If you don't get it in your area, trade! I know I am gonna, again!

well...here we go. FFF - couldnt resist the purchase.
purchased this bottle for $9.99 at Joes in Richmond, Indiana. Its a bit dusty...no date on the bottle.
Poured into tulip glass. Pours a slightly hazy golden copper...thick white head.
Crazy peach and fruity hop aromas with a big malt backbone. Like a DFH 90 min...but more fruity..
Taste is big fruity hops...light fruit like peach or pear with some citrus or pineapple notes; followed by a bit of a malt finish - like vienna or something bready. Big fruity finish...
Its a very easy drinker and you really dont notice the ibu or abv here...not an amazing DIPA...just too malty for me to be amazing. I cant get through the bomber so i switched to a two hearted ale...so much better...
This is a brew where i dont get the hype...

4.71/5  rDev +10.8%
look: 4.5 | smell: 4.75 | taste: 4.75 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.75

Appearance: Pours a rich, hazy golden orange with a big three fingers of creamy, fluffy off-white foam.

Smell: A wonderful bouquet of soft, ripe mango, juicy pineapple, and faint strawberry greet the nose. There's also a light yeasty, cracker-like aroma hiding under the blanket of fruity hops. Quite heavenly.

Taste: Bright, tangy grapefruit, tangerine, orange marmalade, pine, some fruity esters and a touch of honey with a caramel malt backing. Sugary with maybe just a little white wine characteristic lurking about.

Mouthfeel: Medium to heavier bodied and lightly crisp with incredible smoothness. Sort of creamy and a bit oily and chewy.

Overall, this was an exceptional imperial IPA from famed brewery Three Floyds. I had this back to back with their Dreadnaught and Arctic Panzer Wolf came out the clear winner for me. It has a wonderfully complex, fruity aroma and flavor with unbeatable smoothness for a 9% beer. Juicy, sweet, and well-balanced.

Celebration drink this. Poured from a 22 oz bomber into a large snifter.

A solid pale, orange juice color. Very hazy and full of cloud. Just less than a finger thick head with good retention. Good enough lacing on the sides. Some minor bubbles. Totally opaque.

Aroma has almost every hop note that i have ever noticed - ok not every but almost all. Earthy, herbal. A lot of flower notes and good amount of grapefruit. It is like a sap coming out of hops.
If you take out this wonderful and enticing aroma that reminds a lot of hops it could be mistaken for grapefruit or orange juice.

Flavor is just awesome. Hits hard with citrus and earthy notes. A lot of herbal character in the beer. Grapefruit is abundant as well. Malt in the middle but the ending is super bitter. Excellent bitterness overall as such. Justifies its 100 IBUs. Very well hidden alcohol. Seems like i am drinking some kind of citrus juice. Bitterness is palate wrecking. So make this your last beer of the day/night. Hurts the tongue not very severely mainly due to controlled carbonation, but the bitterness is still huge. Aftertaste lingers on forever. A bit piney towards the end.

Feel is medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Very slight alcohol warmth. Excellent brew for a hop head like me. Some oily and resiny touch.

Go for it. It is big and bold. You won't be disappointed.

Pours hazy orange with a small white head. Smell is earthy, bready, buttery, slightly citrusy. Taste is also buttery, lots of pine, some orange, some mango some apricot, thick texture with a nice bitter bite. I'm a big fan of all things Floyd's but I would rather grab a dreadnaught any day, this is a great beer, very intense thick buttery hop profile. This been lives up to the name, worth a try for sure

Appearance- beautiful amber color, 1 finger loose head. High Density suspended particulates.

Aroma- Deep citrous Forrest, breakfast marmalade on a English muffin, slight pine. Tiny hint of the gravity to come.

Taste: Front tongue bite, followed by pine & citrous, slowly rolling front to back in volumptuous smoothness, leaving the tongue numbed & hopknockered.

Mouthfeel- Full bodied but not to viscous. Slowly gives way to the generous hopnessouty. Very conforting two row blanketing of the tongue.

Overall- A definite object of future beer searches. The 2-row & dextrose give way to beautiful hop notes right when your ready for them.

Poured into snifter

Appearance: Slightly murky orange with a little peach thrown in. A half finger white head that did not last long but a film lasted.

Aroma: Apricot, floral, and pine. Some white wine. A slight tropical fruity smell. Some citrus. And sweetness as well.

Taste: Floral, piney apricot. Very slight citrus. A little pineapple. Picked up a white wine characteristic, too. Sweetness with a slight bitterness throughout. As it warms, flavors become more piney apricot/peach with malts pulling through.

Mouthfeel: Medium bodied. Carbonation is just a slight below medium. Bitterness in the finish is not as aggressive. It feels light for an Imperial IPA. It goes down smooth with no residual sticky or oily feeling.

Overall: A good Imperial IPA. It would please any hopheads.

22oz. bomber bottle with the usual kickass Three Floyd's label. The label was done by a tattoo artist and it shows it. This bottle had a bright red label with a large arctic blue wolf ripping right through the label. This isn't an ordinary wolf. This wolf looks like a hell hound. Don't stare directly into the wolf's red eyes. You will regret it. Above and below the wolf in arctic blue lettering is the name of the beer. Flanking the wolf is the Government warning and the beer's ingredients. I wish there was a bottled or brewed date on the bottle. Poured into a Cycle Brewing Snifter.

This arctic wolf was not arctic blue in color, but a beautiful hazy apricot orange. It was so hazy that I could barley see the silhouette of my fingers on the other side of the glass. On top of this orange brew was a small 1/4 of an inch bubbly porcelain white head of foam. Mediocre retention that left behind a small number of rings and spots around the glass. Nice color, but the head of foam was less than desirable.

Pouring the beer into the Snifter unleashed the strong scent of grapefruit and pine. It was more pine than grapefruit. Behind the pine and grapefruit wall was more citrus fruits and lightly bitter citrus hops. The citrus fruits consisted of some tangerine and a little lemon. I could detect some malt trying to come out, but the grapefruit and pine quickly covered it up and said "what malt?"

The taste wasn't hugely hopped up. It was hoppy, but not overly hoppy. The taste kicked off with the citrus hops. The hops then gave way to the grapefruit and pine resin. It loved the pine! The pine resin lasted for a while before some lemon, tangerine, and apricot moved in. After the fruits had their moment in the sun, the beer then finishes with a faint taste of toasted malt. Finally the malt was allowed to come out and play.

The mouthfeel was light to medium bodied and featured a nice lightly hoppy crispy aftertaste. I found more citrus hops, pine, grapefruit, lemon, and apricot in the aftertaste. The hops don't linger on. I guess the hops had some place to be.

I would like to thank lionssoccer for giving me the opportunity to try this Three Floyd's beer. I'm sure I don't have to tell you this but this was another nice Three Floyd's beer. It wasn't hugely hopped, but there was enough hops in this beer to keep you on your toes. This wasn't a beer that relied on a cool label. The beer was just as cool as the kick ass label.

Great IPA that serves as a great example of the style.

A - Golden yellow with lots of carbonation. Pours with a good head that fades quickly.

S - Warm (not sharp) initial smell that fades into a heavy caramel

T - Very smooth, with caramel overtones. Not a huge amount of bitterness, but a very satisfying, thirst quenching finish.

M - Great. Like I said, very smooth but quenching. Doesn't have much of an after taste - or just doesn't change as it fades away. Fades somewhat quick.

O - Really fantastic beer actually. Its simply really pleasing. It satisfies my thirst for an IPA's bitterness but doesn't stick around too long. Each taste is incredibly consistent. The smooth feel works well with the caramel. Fantastic beer.

Poured from a bomber into a chalice. Hazy, golden goodness with a finger of white head that dissipates quickly. Very nice lacing. Looks like a fantastic DIPA. Let's have a smell.

Very nice. Nose is juicy-fruit, lemon, fresh-cut grass, pine. A little malty breadiness as it warms. But how does she drink?

Wow. Hop explosion on a Friday night. That's what I'm talking about. Time to wake-up those taste buds on siesta since my last Sucks four days ago. This stuff good. Delicious. And hides the 9% well. After 22 oz. of this it may be hard to move-on to something else.

Medium mouthfeel. Easy to drink.

Overall an excellent beer. As usual, the Floyd's have not let me down. Think I'll have more.

Poured from a 650 ml bottle into a Surly Darkness chalice.

Appearance: Pours a somewhat hazy golden orange with a moderate amount of rising bubbles. One finger of white head that settles into a thin creamy layer. Leaves a good amount of lacing around the glass.

Smell: A lively citrus forward aroma with a nice complex mix of fruit esters. Big hop scent upfront with hints of citrus orange peel, pineapple, mango, grapefruit, apricot, tangerine, and lemon. Also some grassy hops and pine resin spice. Some subtle undertones of white wine characteristics with a hint of grape. A fair amount of sugar. Bready soft malts with hints of cracker, biscuit, caramel, and yeast. A little scent of honey is also in the mix. Very good aroma.

Taste: Like it smells, a ripe and juicy taste of citrus hop fruit esters. Big taste of ripe and bitter hops upfront with notes of citrus orange, mango, pineapple, grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, and apricot. Along with the citrus is a taste of spicy pine resin and grass. A little hint of white grapes. Soft bready malts with notes of cracker, biscuit, caramel, grain, and yeast. Some sugar and honey adds some more sweetness. Very citrus forward, tropical, and juicy. A great West Coast style IPA taste.

Mouthfeel: Medium to heavy bodied with a moderate amount of carbonation. Creamy, chewy, and fairly oily. Alcohol heat is hidden very well.

Overall: Another great imperial IPA from Three Floyds. Great tropical citrus hop flavors.

Thanx YogiBeer for this one, you rock!

Into my chalice from the bomber:

A: clear golden colored body leaving a half centimeter white foamy head. Light foamy lacing coats and slides to spider web movement.

S: citrusy and slightly grassy coming through in a dry earthy sort of way, hops are there a bit.

T: citrusy combined nicely with the malts and hops.

M: medium with barely any sharpness on the tongue, big wow, here, nice and smooth yet crisp as the beer goes down. It leaves a bitter and sticky aftertaste and a dry finish. I'd say this is fairly sessionable despite the fairly high ABV on it, I'm not feeling the 9% just yet, or tasting it.

O: this is my first one by Three Floyds and I'm really looking forward to trying the rest. This is superb for its style and spectacular to me. As it warms, its really a citrus forward DIPA, in my opinion.

Reviewing the Arctic Panzer Wolf from Three Floyds Brewing Company out of Munster, Indiana.

Score: 96

Tap pour served in a La Fin Du Monde tulip at Kuma's Corner and enjoyed on 06/08/12. Review is from iPhone notes.

Smell: Grapefruit, pine, orange juice, lemon zest, tropical citrus, pine and herbaceous, fresh grass. 4.5/5

Taste: Juicy tropical citrus hop bomb! Orange, grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, and mango. Ample lemonade and bitter pine. Sharp lemon-zest flavor. Faint hint of onion. 4.75/5

Mouthfeel: Medium bodied, medium carbonation. Juicy mouthfeel. Bitter, slightly sweet. The mouthfeel here is directly comparable to Ghandi Bot. 4.5/5

Poured from a bomber into a Redhook Limited Edition tulip. No bottled on date.

Appearance- Beautiful clear yellow/orange. One fingered bubbly white head that lasted about a minute. Great lacing.

Smell- Incredible aromas of chardonay and sauvignon blanc, lemon, peach, floral hops, grassy earthyness. Slight booze at the end.

Taste- Citrus, white wine grapes, earthy hops, peaches. Bitter, but balanced. Slight booze at the back of my throat.

Mouthfeel- Nicely carbonated. Smooth with light viscosity. Crisp.

Overall- This is a great DIPA. Second beer from Three Floyds and and It's another winner.

My daughter sent me a bottle of Arctic Panzer Wolf and Dreadnaught from Wisconsin (what UPS doesn't know...)
Dreadnaught is a real rival to Pliny the Elder but I think I like Arctic Panzer Wolf a little more (please God, forgive me!)
Appearance is hazy golden color, showing some character. Nice off-white head with good lacing as the glass empties.
Mouth feel is very good - a good amount of carbonation.
Taste: Citrus, almost tangerine, a hint of apricot, and pine taste - since I am from the Left Coast, what I consider a great IPA taste. Nice that you can taste some malt coming through the citrus/pine.
I really liked the taste and the smoothness - no bite, just smooth and easy to drink!

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4 | overall: 4

Appearance: Pours a luminous golden orange…hazily transparent, I see a few bubbles happening on the inside…a thin layer of just off white head has formed and remains…a very inviting look…(4/5)

Smell: Tons of citrus hops…I’m getting orange, tangerine, pineapple, mandarin…very light and zesty, though not as much aroma as some I’ve had…light pale malts add background notes…fairly straight forward citrus hops (I imagine it’s the Citra variety) dominant I.P.A…(4/5)

Taste: Tons of citrus hops much like the nose…orange, pineapple, lemon and tangerine dominant, a touch of paler malts for good measure…some piney resin in the after taste…certainly not complex, the citrus hops are used well here making it a nice, flavorful brew…(4.25/5)

Mouthfeel: Medium body with medium carbonation…it does fluff up a bit bringing more lemony/orange tart citrus bitterness to the palate…wet, mildy chewy, some persimmon-like dryness in the finish…tingles the taste buds on the outside of my tongue…(4/5)

Overall: This is a delicious brew and right in my wheelhouse as of late as it seems I can’t get enough of these citrus hops dominant I.P.A’s and double I.P.A’s…the flavor is fantastic, though it doesn’t exude exuberant fresh taste that say a Stone Drink By or an Avery DuganA do...there’s very little alcohol taste for the higher ABV, allowing the beer ingredients to speak for themselves…the only downfall with this brew is the pricetag…at $11.99/22oz (though I bought this one for $10 at the brewery), it’s a bit pricey and not something I would normally spend for less than two beers…is it worth $12? maybe…but what I do have here is excellent and I’m enjoying it thoroughly…if you are looking for something chicagoland specific or are near the brewpub or don’t mind spending money on beer, then this brew is worthy of the money…if, like me, you are typically a baller on a budget, then you can pass on this one and choose something like a Three Floyds Zombie Dust 6-pack or even a Widmer Bros Nelson Imperial I.P.A. to excite your taste buds…(4/5)

From notes, 7/29/11. Pours a bright, light gold with a big head. Dry start with some simple malt sweetness in the finish. Bitterness is strong, about an 8/10. Huge citric-pine aroma with just a touch of light maltiness. A touch of herbal and light stone fruit flavors, as well. West Coast in styling but still stands apart from any other DIPA that I’ve tried. Smooth and fairly light on the palate. No noticeable booziness. Good stuff.

I'm new to IPAs and up 'til now my favorites have been Southern Tier's 2XIPA and Three Floyds' Dreadnaught. But TF's Arctic Panzer Wolf has just blown my mind! It has tons of hops but in a flavorful way. It's a bit on the pricey side too (I paid $11.99 for a pint bottle at the Louisville Beer Store). But I honestly hope that someone in town gets this on tap soon! Great beer!!

22oz bottle from zrab11 (thanks!). No dicernable bottling info. Served in a Terrapin snifter.

Pours hazy straw gold with about ine finger of near white head that leaves a little lace.

The tropical and piney hops fill my nose just opening the bottle! Once in the glass other aromas of grass, biscuit and pineapple waft up. Really nice.

Hops dominate from the first sip (as they should). A pleasant mix of pine, pineapple, grass, biscuit, lemon, pepper, sweet bread, apricot and a little booze. The alcohol is present but dangerously subdued and smooth.

Oily slick, medium full body with fairly sharp carbonation. Long, dry, hop-infused piney finish.

A very well done imperial IPA. A little more dry than I'm used to that wasn't an issue here. I had no problems downing the entire bomber and would happily do so again.

Pours a crystal clear, classic golden color with an egg shell/vanilla colored, fat, foamy head. Hop vegetable matter is noted floating after the second half of the bomber is poured. The head retention is better than average. I stick my nose in and, hello grapefruit! Lovely, lovely grapefruit. Mouthfeel is nearly as lovely. Soft, full, wet, but not juicy. The hop hotness cuts what otherwise might express as juiciness. Perfect amount of carbonation scrub on the back of the tongue. Megagrapefruit, some pine around the edges of the tongue, light sulfur, and a bit of onion. This beer's my hero. One of the best from FFF, in my opinion.

from notes. bomber into my fff teku glass.

a - pours a nearly transparent amber color and formed a 2 finger, sudsy, off white head right away. foam dissipates just as fast, leaving spotty lacing in the glass.

s - honey, orange citrus, strawberry, faintly floral.

t - sugary sweet malt with massive citrus and floral hop character. notes of orange, and berry. a massive, resinous bitterness slaps the tongue and lingers for quite a while. finishes a little on the dry side.

m - heavier side of medium, but i think that's mostly from all the hop oils. adequate carbonation, finer co2 profile.

o - another solid beer from fff, just bordering on cloyingly sweet though. you'd never notice the 9% either until you reach the end of the bottle and try to stand up. would love to have regular access to this without the 4 hour drive.
