Alpine Beer Company Exponential Hoppiness

Brewed by Alpine Beer Company (CA)
Style: Imperial/Double IPA
Alpine, California USA

Growler courtesy of tpd975. Pours a slightly hazy pale golden with a one finger white head that leaves good lacing. Aroma is like sticking your head into a bag of the best hops and reefer in the world with notes of apricot, orange, and lemon with a solid dose of pine. Taste is more hops and reefer. Medium mouthfeel with an insaine amount of bitterness and smooth as hell alcohol. This beer is in no way balanced but I love hops and thats what this beer is all about. A damn fine brew.

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.

From Growler. poured into duvel tulip. Pours a bright orange with average white head. Aroma. wow! alot going on here. Tons of floral and tropical flavors mango, Peach, pinapple and pine hops. Flavor is a mix of tangerine and peach with a nice warming feel. Alcohol is present, but not overbearing, The more it warms the more noticable it becomes. Very easy drinker. It will hit you after a few glasses.

Pours orange with thick white head. Aroma is overpowering floral hops. I could just pour a glass and smell the beer. Then the first taste is huge citrus hops with piney resin. Pure hop juice. Thick, creamy mouthfeel. A hophead’s dream beer. Very easy drinking for 10.5%.

Growler, courtesy tpd975. Golden copper pour, big white head and thick lacing. Big pine in the nose, citrus, tons of vanilla and spices, some heat. Works well. Huge pine flavors, citrus and tropical notes, some dry grain and oily hoppiness creates a very full and yummy body. Drinkable as hell, very delicious. Right up there with the best of the imperial IPAs.

My new fav beer in San Diego. Smooth, warm, sweet and yet somehow crisp and fresh. Gotta love it.

Poured a hazy, deep copper color with a small, thin, off white head that left a decent amount of lacing on the glass. Aromas of orange, tangerine, apricots, floral and grassy hops, really nice. Well balanced taste, loads of piney and citrusy hops, nice bitterness, sweet chewy malts. Damn, I really liked this, thanks cquiroga!!

Super-fresh growler courtesy of naven. This is the hoppiest beer I have ever sampled. Bar none. 24 hours after I polished off the growler, I had sanitized it twice w/ warm soapy water and it still had an intense hop aroma. Hops so intense it almost singes your nose hairs. This is a very dangerous brew. I love it.
