Clear, bright golden color, slim white head.
In the nose: pine and citrus, playing it low and cool.
In the mouth: Lean-bodied, creamy malt, nearly sweet. Hop flavors and bitterness don't have much of an impact. There's a modicum of hoppiness that hangs around the palate, slightly interacting with the tastebuds, but it's all a very mild affair. Citrus and pine are here, but I don't know about ...."This beer is just bursting with the grapefruit, pine and resin aromas and flavors of Citra and Simcoe hops."
Nothing wrong, nothing bad. But. You know what, it's probably exactly what they set out to make. Just not interesting or special. Ah, well. Average beer and you can drink it.
The Alpha Initiative is a playground for our brewers to explore, create and analyze all things IPA. For Pilot #02, our brewers worked with a hop supplier on ultra-concentrated hop pellets. Only the lupulin gland of the hop is pelletized, resulting in the most concentrated hop pellet available right now.
