The Alchemist Heady Topper American Double / Imperial IPA at 8.0% ABV
Pours… Well, doesn’t. I decided to follow the recommendation and drink from the can. (Hard to get used to!) Nose is hoppy and fruity, citrus, pine, and dank. Taste follows suit, with tropical fruit and citrus, pine resin, fruity and floral against light sweet malt. Medium light body with very little alcohol presence and a sticky finish.
Well, damn. Ain’t that some shit! Next one I get my hands on is gonna have to go in a glass so I can evaluate appearance as well, but other than the inability to evaluate appearance, this is perfect DIPA. And since DIPA’s are pretty much my favourite style, I guess I officially have a new favourite beer ever.
