FFF's are one of the top original craft brewery's that continually push the boundries of style and their minor runs are way more interesting than a bunch of others full efforts. There's something really unique about the taste and sort of refreshing for a rocket fuel brew. Not their best, but throughly enjoyable, original, and totally drinkable. A wee bit of lingering hop bitterness I could do without, but now I'm splitting hairs.ĭ: Love these guys, a Milk Imperial IPA, only FFF's pulls this kind of shit off. Maybe it's me, but I'd never guess the alcohol level of 11% abv by the taste. And this is a brew that could get a dude in trouble quick. The lacto is a background addition, makes the brew full and smooth without being overly pronounced. Lot's of flavors of tree fruits and citrus lend together. I think a big malt sweetness is coming, but it doesn't. FFF's signature to me is balance of complex brews, this has got it. S: Fruit, citrus, floral, toasty malt, amd something else.

Perhaps drawing inspiration from its battle with 10 Barrel, the new name they chose was Opposition Brewing Company. A few months later, Apocalypse Brewing decided to change its name. Then, in June 2013, 10 Barrel renewed its objection. Apparently, after some back-and-forth between the attorneys, the parties stopped communicating.
