Alpine Beer Company Exponential Hoppiness

On tap at Liar’s club, Alpine. Pours a very hazy amber wit a small white head and lacings. Bitter with lots of grapefruity hops aromas... and then some. Also some alcohol notes. Very bitter finish. X-treme on the hops... kind of one sided though.

growler shared by I forget who in line at the port anniversary party....great nose of grapefruity and piney hops and the flavor is much the same with the great interplay with the malts perfect balance...just a tad bit below pliney inmy opinion .....damn good job though pat!

Thanks to Josh for sharing this growler! Pours a lightly hazy golden amber with a medium bubbly off white head. Aroma of pine resin, caramel malt, toasted notes, grapefruit, light oak, orange...nice a hoppy with a great malt balance. Flavor of tea, pine, dry hopped grassy notes, grapefruit, citrus, oak, caramel and some toffee.

Growler from Padrefan98, big thanks for this unexpected gift Jon. Pours a clear deep orangey copper with a large fluffy white head. Aroma is pure heaven. Tons of fresh hops balanced with the perfect touch of malt sweetness. I swear I could sit here and smell this all day long. Medium bodied that is slightly dry and finishes bitter but not overly bitter for the giant hop aroma. Flavor is full of fresh citrus hops, grapefruit rind, cereal, grain, and caramel and help balance this one out. I wish a little more of the sweetness from the aroma followed inot the flavor but still one fantastic beer.

Pours dark copper with a slight haze. A fullish rush of fine carbonation swells up a inch-plus head of off-white. Ripped sheets of clingy foam, and a full coverage skim coat remains throughout. Pungently hoppy with oak-laden malt undertones. Grapefruit pith, candied bitter orange peel, pine resin, freshly turned earth, and oak bark. Alcohol is everpresent with each whiff. Sticky, sappy, chewy mouthfeel. Tongue- coating, and on the thick side of medium. Bitter spruce sap, citrus oils, leafy hops, and juicy malt lead off the pallet. An oaky dryness steps forward along with warming alcohol. Lingering bitterness, ripe fruit, and forest floor are a mainstay for each sip. A whallop of grapefruit, pine needles, and oaky malt. Quite malty for an IIPA, and approaching barleywine territory, but stopping short. A bit numbing in the nose and pallet, with the onslaught of hops and alcohol. Similar to Hopsickle, but more malty, and the oaking adds some nice depth, which rounds out the brew as well. Big ups to doubleo for hooking me up!
