On tap at O’Brien’s, into a pint glass
Slightly cloudy, straw-yellow appearance, 1/2 inch head leaves plenty of lacing.
Snappy bouquet with hints of tangerine pith, lemon pepper, biscuity yeast.
Flavors are classic West Coast style, piney and citrusy up front, with Alpine’s signature caramelly malts hitting mid-sip. Subtle hints of tropical notes, maybe mango-pineapple. Short, clean refreshing finish.
I think because of the name I was kinda expecting it to taste like old Alpine Bad Boy, but it’s more like HFS.
