3.2 Alphabet City Sugar Plum Fairy Candied plum and some sweet tobacco. Murky brown pour with ok head. Doesn't balance very well - a bit of a mess. Candy syrup probably doesn't help. Sweet and tangy finish, but not in a good way. Can. Sunday, April 4, 2021 | |

3.7 Alphabet City Sugar Plum Fairy Poured from a can, part of a quarterly beer delivery club. Appearance is brown colored body, with a strong tint of red. One finger of light tan head, which sticks around as an island and ring. Leaves behind some strings of lacing. Aroma of sweet candi syrup, dark malts, and slight plum. Taste of semisweet plum and dark malts. Thicker mouth feel, with a syrup texture. Has a numbing effect on the tongue. Very good carbonation. A pleasant winter sipper, with a heavier body and a taste that is not too sweet. Enough alcohol to create a warming effect as the beer is consumed. Nice beer! Monday, June 8, 2020 | |

3.6 Alphabet City Sugar Plum Fairy 16 ounce can. Pours like root beer. Rocky tan head. Roasted malt nose is subtle with notes of dark fruit and brown sugar. Roasted malt flavor. Notes of dark fruits and toffee. There is a sour component here, presumably from the plum purée. This tastes like a Belgian dubbel without the layers of complexity.

Pours clear golden with small foamy whitish head, malt aroma, medium carbonation, slightly sour malt taste with a bit of honey flavor, thin body, medium finish.

3.2 Alphabet City Alpha Male IPA 12 oz. bottle from hayduke that we had together via facebook chat. Just a little white haze in this golden beer. A white head. Aroma is not distinct but is kind of sugary and floral. Flavor is aggressive and bitter. Big fruit and bitterness. More bitterness than in most doubles. Malts are Pilsner. This is called Alpha Male and it deserves that name. Monday, September 18, 2017 | |

3.3 Alphabet City Alpha Male IPA This was shared with Strykzone on Facebook Chat. Pours from the 12-oz bottle a clear golden color with a white head. Nose if floral, light citrus and maybe pine. Medium body. Flavor is citrus with good bitterness along with fruit. Finished a grapefruit bitter. Overall sort of average and sort of uninspired but drinks reasonably well.

2.6 Alphabet City Alpha Male IPA 2015 BJCP Category: 21A American IPA AROMA: Slight spicy/herbal presence but a strong honey-lemon sherry aroma. Light malt sweetness. 7/12 APPEARANCE: Pale orange/amber. Very hazy but CO2 visible. Moderate white froth retains and laces well. 3/3 FLAVOR: Moderate bitterness throughout. Slightly dry and spicy. A background orange citrus note is obscured by a strong honey lemon tea taste likely due to oxidation. Base malt is lightly sweet, but otherwise nondescript. Probably good fresh, but this palette is muted and unbalanced. 12/20 MOUTHFEEL: Medium body; medium-low CO2. Soft, smooth texture. Slight lingering astringency. Gentle alcohol warmth is surprising since it’s only 6.2% ABV. 3/5 OVERALL IMPRESSION: A pretty generic, insipid IPA that isn’t helped by the fact the bottle is old. Drinkable, but not really enjoyable. 5/10 TOTAL SCORE: /50 Wednesday, December 7, 2016 | |
