Three Floyds Alpha King

Brewed by Three Floyds Brewing Company
Style: American Pale Ale
Munster, Indiana USA

[GABF 2004] A clear orange beer with a small orange head. It has a great hoppy aroma with notes of oil. The flavor is sweet with notes of caramel and loads of hops. The hops lends it grassy notes and a very hoppy dry finish and lots of bitterness. The body is surprisingly weak.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Pours amber with a slight haze and a creamy, beige head. Very hoppy, grapefruitish aroma. Medium-bodied, rather sweet caramel malt and a marked, bitter finish with very delicate notes of grapefruit from the great hops. 020506
