Bottle pours clear light gold with one finger white head. Hoppy aroma with citrus and resin. Flavor initial sweet malts with citrus and slight bitterness coming in. Medium body and carbonation. Finish slightly dull bitterness.

Overall a simple IPA done really well.

Mouthfeel is probably my favorite thing about this beer. It is one of Alpines more malty beers. So if you like malt then you’ll love this one. It is one of a kind and another solid beer by Alpine.

Pours straw like in color with thin white head. Aromas of strong pungent hops, floral and mild citrus. Flavors of citrus and a mild bitterness with a smooth, balanced finish.

Had this from a growler. Strong hops, bitter finish...overall not my favorite, but not a bad brew to sip on a warm afternoon...

Bottle shared by Smith in the GTMW line - Pours clear golden with a soapy white head. Nose is soapy, dank hops, fruity with a bit of savory, spicy hops on the finish. Tastes bigger than an IPA, boozy and warm, with lots of stinky dank onion/garlic hops. Fluffy and pretty full-bodied. Tasty, tasty stuff.

Sample pour of deep good with a decent white head that dissipates quickly. Nose is sharp hops, plenty of citrus, especially grapefruit.... And Parmesan cheese? Great flavor of plenty of hops and citrus, super juicy. Nice all the way!

Bottle shared in the GTMW ticket line, pours a clear golden with a white head and lacing in the glass, the aroma is of fresh hops and citrus notes, pretty pungent aroma, the flavor has a nice clean front end with citrus in the finish, nice grapefruit and tropical notes coming through, mouthfeel is pretty smooth, seemed a little bit bigger than 7%, pretty good.

Bottle. Golden, thin white head with nice lacing. Nose is bready malts, citrus fruits, fresh hops, earth. Taste is fresh hops, light citrus fruits, bready malts--much more malt balance than I expected. Watery, low carbonation. Dry bitter finish.

Sampled at DLD 2013. It poured a pale golden color with a white head. The aroma was of bright sweet orange peel hoppiness. The taste was of hops with red grapefruit juice, candied orange peel and apricot jelly. Very well done.

Big bottle in a tulip. Pours slightly murky amber with a lacy, off-white head. Aroma strong of citrusy and resinous hops plus a good amount of pale malts. Flavor the same with a strong hoppiness all the way through. Average texture. A great IPA.
