Alpine Beer Company Alpine Ale

Brewed by Alpine Beer Company (CA)
Style: American Pale Ale
Alpine, California USA

Pours a light golden yellow with small head. Nose was weaker than expected, hints of fruity and floral hops, but not much citrus. similar to palisade hops. Taste is kind of boring, not crisp, not refreshing, not a lot of hop flavor, basic caramel body, moderate to light sweetness, light bitterness, not much going on.

22oz bottle purchased from SouthBay Drugs. Light golden color, clear, average head, looks like a pale ale. The smell was kind of like minerals and stale beer at first but as it warmed it got a little better but nothing special. The flavor was pretty balanced between the slightest citrus and hop bitterness and malt. This beer was quite easy to drink and I put it away fairly quick but it didn’t really impress me as far as pale ales go, I’d prefer a fresh Alesmith X over this.

Bottle shared by Georgiabeer at the Brick Store. Pours a light, clear golden with a small white head. The aroma is light with citrus and floral hop hints and a solid bready malt smell in the background. The taste has the same lemony hop taste as the aroma suggested as well as the bready malts. Interestingly, the overall taste seemed almost buttery which was not what I was expecting. The mouthfeel is crisp and clean. It’s a very refreshing brew overall.

Bomber picked up from Alpine beer co. Pours a clear light orange with a one finger offwhite head. Aroma of grapefruit and floral hops, and some caramel and bisuity malts. Flavor is caramelly sweet, but before it can get very sweet some pine and grapefruit bitter things out a bit, nicely balanced. Medium bodied with light to moderate carbonation. A very good session beer that I enjoyed very much!

22oz bottle: Pours to a slightly hazy, pale amber colored body with a small white head that quickly recedes to a small ring around the outside of the glass. The aroma shows flowery & citrus hops of a light intensity, with some light bread and cereal malt notes. The flavor shows medium bitterness up front, then the flavor of pine & grapefruit come through from the hops, still of a mild intensity, followed by light doughy pale malt, the later hints of more earthy/spicy malts (noble?) come through. Finishes with medium spicy/earthy hop flavors, and bitterness that lingers on the front of the tongue. Medium bodied, lively carbonation, nice clean APA.
