Alchemist Heady Topper

Best IPA Ever. Tasting in different seasons, year after year. No way. Oconur

Like many of the mythical "best beers on the planet" DIPAs, this is a powerhouse hop bomb, but the rest of the world has probably caught up to it. Grapefruit, grass, orange and some tropical fruit notes are pretty fresh and juicy. Not sure it is hitting at 120 IBUs though. The malt is sweet and a bit chewy with a classic caramel undertone.

Can. Tiny sample from happy ocasion. Hazy orange juice colour. Small head. Aroma: gigantic hops. There are citrus and tropical fruit, grassy notes. Additional honey. Medium body. The taste is extraordinary juicy & hoppy. Big orange, tropical fruit. Some grassy and resiny notes. Medium bitterness. Perfect drinkability. Very good.

3 Months old, drank one in can one in glass, preferred in glass. Golden light hazy beer. Taste is awesome, punchy hops all over the roof of my mouth, sage-like herbalness, slightly sweet and slightly bitter, keeps balance by not being too far in either direction rather than lots of sweetness to cover lots of bitter. The hops tingle, grassy, bright, and resinous all at the same time. Huge beer, but not at all hard to drink, overwhelmingly good.

Can thanks to Xebbe. Unclear orange color, small white head. Fruity aromas with orange juice, caramel, passion fruit, pineapple and peaches. Bitter and fruity taste with pine needles, grapefruit, orange juice and slight resin. Medium bitter finish.

Two 16 oz cans shared via can and pint glass. Hazy orange colored appearance with a white head. Fresh aroma of juicy hops, citrus zest, pine, tropical fruit and light grains. Similar flavor, fresh, juicy, hoppy and zesty with moderate bitterness and a light malt sweetness. Medium body with a pleasant finish. Balanced, refreshing and easy to drink, an excellent IPA/IIPA overall.

Pours golden with a nice white head. Aroma is piney, fruity, citrusy. Taste is hoppy, fruity and nicely bitter. The can I tasted had no date on it but it tasted a touch old to me.

Hit or miss. Some cans of this are pure heaven. Some are meh. The ones that are good though, are really good.

16oz can drank out of the can so no comment on head.Aroma fruity taste piney hoppy excellent beer ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Where: A gift enjoyed at a tasting event, thanks Maxbier and dlovell2 and Steve. How: Large can. Details: Pours an opaque orange-amber with a thin white head. The aroma is all tropical fruit and citrus leaping from the glass. Starts off with sweet citrus and tropical fruit notes, fading to a very mild bitter finish. The malt is more then enough to balance out the bitterness. It has a full mouthfeel, and is very inviting. This is a top notch IIPA, and I can see why people are trying to imitate it. Definitely lives up to the hype!!
