Alpine Beer Company Exponential Hoppiness

Growler thanks to hopsleeroy on BA. Thanks Lee! Pours clearish golden with a white head that leaves plenty of sticky lacing. Smell is huge perfume-like hop aroma like fresh hop cones, a slight herbaceous smell and some slight vanilla/oak. Huge, sweet hoppy flavor. Fresh hops and pine cones all over the flavor. Vanilla and dry oakiness as well. So easy to drink this one, I could hardly tell it was 11%. Basically it was like squeezing juice right out of the hops into my mouth.

(growler, thanks kmweaver) Small white head atop clear golden body. Aroma is moderately sweet, mango, some passion fruit, pineapple, orange. Taste is moderately sweet, grapefruit, mango, light caramel. Sticky medium-full body.

Thanks to Ken for this one. Clear gold color, a white head with good retention. Aroma has lots of awesome spicy flowery hops, a slight citrus sweetness in the back, and pineapple. flavor is not overly bitter, lots of tropical fruits, and a bit of an earthiness.

Growler, courtesy of wetherel. Thanks, John! Pours a clear, tarnished copper color; creamy, light tan head with great retention and textured lacing, coating the glass; very nice pour. Loads of tropical fruits, oily tree fruit hoppiness, and no astringency in the aroma; passion fruits and lime; gorgeous nose. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: loads of oily, sweet tropical fruits, passion fruit, lime, and dripped tree fruits; gorgeous, clear, resiny hop character; no astringency; my favorite type of IIPA. Gorgeous, hop-forward and clearly expressed. Lengthy finish: toasted malts, passion fruits, and tree fruits.

Courtesy of kmweaver. Clear light amber body with a medium white head. Big hoppy, citrus fruit nose with peach, grapefruit, tangerine, also lots of sugars as well. The favor is moderately sweet, lots of cotton candy, lots of citrus hops, heavy bitterness. Medium/full body is chewy with light carbonation.
