3 Floyds Brewing Company Cimmerian Sabertooth Berzerker

What the brewers say

“In the seemingly endless cruelty, battle, and strife of the Hyborian Age, a warrior has but two pleasures: decimating one’s enemies in battle and a horn of Cimmerian Sabertooth Berzerker to slake the thirst of victory.”

What our panel thought

Aroma: “A nice fresh hops character and very juicy: mango, melon, pineapple, lemon, orange, grapefruit, and pine. Some light malt sweetness in the back.”

Flavor: “Bright and full of flavor. Great fruit character: pineapple, orange, melon, mango, lemon, citrus notes. The fruit characters are showcased throughout and carry in the finish without being too sweet. The bitterness is there to just balance this beer. Touch of toast. Silky caramel malt body.”

Overall: “This beer blended and came together great. The unique hops profile tastes like a combination of hemispheres, although it could be a bit aggressive for someone still on the beginner hops spectrum. Great silky malt body and a long finish enthusiastically invite another sip.”
