Mar 5, 2008 From a growler fresh from Alpine...this batch has Nelson and Amarillo hops that supposedly replaced ?cascade due to shortages. Rich copper-amber color, small head, giant fresh, rich, citrusy aroma and flavor...bright and flavorful like a hop perfume with a tasty bitter finish. A lovely hop monster!

Mar 2, 2008 Pale clear orange colour with a soft thick foam head that is slightly off white. West coast citrus hop aroma. Flavour is initially tame but the hops hit quick and hard. Nice flavour overall that really highlights the hops without being hugely bitter and difficult to drink.

Feb 28, 2008 (22oz bottle) At hospitable Enniskillen’s RR Batch 001 Party. Quick dissipating head, high carbonated and a deep golden body. Nose is great. Nice orange and pine hop flavour. Very good.

Feb 21, 2008 Bottle shared by BigErn. This is your typical west-coast hoppy beer. Pours a nice dark gold in color. Smell is hops with some underlying malt. The thing that stands out in this beer is the development of the hop taste throughout each drink. Initially you’re hit with the grassy/piney hops. Then midway through the tongue you get a bit of juiciness that shows up. Really quite pleasant and very easy to enjoy. Would be killer on tap.

Feb 20, 2008 Bottle courtesy of Bu11zeye : Poured a light hazy blonde ale with a huge pure white foamy head with perfect retention and perfect lacing as well. Aroma of citrus and fresh grapefruit is just out of this world with some low bitter notes. Taste is also dominated by some fresh red ruby grapefruit with some bittering notes at the end. Probably one of the best aromas I’ve had in months of tasting new beers. Full body, creamy texture, perfect carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Wow!

Feb 9, 2008 It has a TON of hop, it’s all hop, every last good drop of this golden beer is a hoppy delight. It has a good nose, amber color and is well balanced on the palate.
I purchase this by the growler at the Alpine Beer Company. Yet another reason I love San Diego; great weather and great local beer.

Feb 6, 2008 Juicy, citrusy hops and some slight biscuit from the malt. Golden yellow appearance with a bright white head. Not bad.
