Thanks Tim and Rachel. Light golden pour with a small soapy white head. Holy shit this aroma, pineapples and peaches dominate and a touch of sweetness. Slightly sweet and tropical fruitiness in the flavor that blends well and a quick, bitter ending to it. Very nice beer.

UPDATED: JUN 18, 2013 22oz bomber. Pours a cloudy amber/orange color with a thin white head with lots of floaties. Aroma of citrus and tropical fruits. Taste is lots of citrus fruit (lemon, grapefruit, pineapple), and bready malts. Lots of sour bitterness.

Bottle from Larry, nice light amber pour with a white head. Aroma of big citrus hops, malt and some caramel. Taste is very similar, citrus hops at the forefront, caramel sweet malt and extremely smooth finish. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

budznsudz (337) - Audubon, New Jersey, USA - JUN 1, 2013
Pours light orange with almost no head. Aroma is citrusy hops and just a wisp of pine. The flavor is refreshing and crisp. Light citrus and pine cone with a little yeast make up the flavor. I enjoyed this more than the Nelson.

Poured from 22 oz bomber into pint glass. Beautiful clear gold with a white head that quickly dissipates to a thin wispy cap with nice lacing. Juicy aroma redolent of citrus and flower petals. The spicy bitter hoppiness is balanced wonderfully by a sweet malty backbone. Medium body with moderate carbonation. Finishes dry. Overall a very well crafted ale that is worth the trouble tracking down! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

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.

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.
