Sep 13, 2002 unreal taste
the aroma is that of an freshly squeezed oranges with a hint of lemon too.
the appearance is a dark gold color.
the flavor is the taste of oranges.
the palate is smooth and citrusy. alot of hops surround the citrus taste.
no taste or hint of alcohol in this beer even though this beer rates at 7.25% in abv

Sep 26, 2002 Updated: Apr 1, 2003This beer has changed the way that I look at pale ales. I absolutly love this beer. Everything about it is flawless. Yes, there might be beers out there that deserve a perfect score as well, but I could not think of a better beer to sip on during the late spring and early summer. An outstanding beer and well worthy of the perfect score.

Aug 11, 2003 After 370 beers rated, this is my first perfect beer! Sampled at the Great Taste of the Midwest. Aroma: very hoppy, wonderful, rich. Very nice, reddish, orangish amber. Off-white head. Not much visible carbonation. Very nice hoppy flavor. Excellent lace. As an American Pale, doesn't get any better than this.

Mar 23, 2004 Updated: Jul 14, 2004Pours a deep reddish-brown with an exquisite, citrusy hop aroma. Full-bodied and flavorful, this heavily hopped brew finshes with a nice bitter finish. A terrific beer!

Dec 12, 2004 If I had to chose one ale/lager to drink, this would be my choice. This is truly the king, forget that nonsense out of St. Louis. The Floyds got it absolutely right with Alpha King, from the orange color, citrus and hops, huge flavor, yet easy drinkability. My first 20. I keep trying other American Pale Ales, but always come back to Alpha King.

May 4, 2005 Updated: Aug 21, 2005Amber with and off white head. Fair retention. Minimal haze. I get some bold citrus (orange or tangerine) hops and rich breadyness for malt in the nose.
Very full flavor. Again citrus hops and robust breadiness from the malt. Maybe some caramel. Moderate body. Not a lot of ligering flavor.
Rerate 8/21/05. I am now ratinge this based on Alpha King as an APA vice and IPA. This is by far the best American Pale Ale on the market.
