Pours a clear golden with a nearly white head that lingers longer than any other Alpine I’ve had yet. The fine foam laces the edges of the glass asymmetrically. Piney nose that was barely noted over the soap perfume on my hands (I had just excused myself to the wash room and, of course, I washed my hands before returning). Mouthfeel is full, smooth, and cottony. Mild pine features and some notes of peat. Excellent example of an APA.

Pours transparent golden orange with a thick white head. Nose is grapefruit, pine, bread and light caramel. Taste is sweet but only momentarily before a big surge of bitter. The mouthfeel is crisp and clean, light body and long finish.

From growler shared by GT2. Thanks buddy. Nose is grassy, light citrus, heavy resin, light garlic, light butterscotch. Flavor is a tad buttery for my tastes, mildly sweet, mild bitterness, more butter. Not a big fan, but Alpine may be that one brewery that many people love that I never really dig.

Nice floral and citrus hop nose with a touch of honey. Lightly sweet taste with quite a bit of grainy, biscuit malt. Hops are pretty nice, lots of fresh flowers and tangerine.

Growler from the brewery two days ago. Mega fresh. Pours a crystal clear golden. Thick, fluffy, yellowish head. Thick, webby lacing. Sheen and super rocky. Nose is fresh lemon, mango, butterscotch, white pepper, pithy durian, vanilla. Taste is tangy, spicy, thicker butterscotch, mango and cantaloupe. Palate is quenching, soft, a bit oily and dense. Alpine written all over it. This is solid.

Growler courtesy of GT2, thank you sir! Clear bright golden color, large gluffy white head with great retention, delicate lacing. Aroma of fresh grass, scallions, licorice, wow! Taste is moderately bitter grass. Very nice.

This was sampled at the brewery. The dry hopped ale was a clear gold color with a small white head. Citrus on the nose and taste. Nice balanced bitterness from beginning to end. All of Alpine’s products were excellent. I wanted to try as amny as possible because we will not see in the East. Great finish for this medium body ale with average carbonation.

Had it at Toronado SD. Nice golden color with a really big hop aroma for the style. Nice bitterness with just enough malt to keep it balanced. An excellent beer to have if you’re having more than 1 or 2.

Tap. Pours a golden orange color with a white head. Aroma is filled with hops I get lots of peach and apricot, some orange and tangerine as well and slight sweet malt. Flavor follows the nose, lots of peach and apricot, orange and tangerine, it is super juicy with a touch of sweet malt. The body is medium with a dry mouth feel. Overall a really nice APA but not as good as Hoppy Birthday.

At FWIBF, Hazy orange pour with a white head. Cirtus, yeast, and pine aroma. Sweet and malty with some minor bitterness on the taste and just flat out good. Another winner from Alpine.
