    I'll find you at a middle point. How about something like:

    2 pitchers of Nelson > 1 glass of Double Nelson

    I've only had Pure Hoppiness and it was amazing. Really looking to trying more Alpine in my future

    Only a bro-down can settle which Alpine IPA is the best.

    I saw ehammond1 with 6 Willy Vanilly growlers. No Nelson in sight.

    Nelson's definitely better than Double Nelson. They're also taste wildly different from one another -- Nelson wins by dint of its crazy orange juice flavor. Delicious.

    Oh and actually I forgot one.

    Nelson > Double Nelson > Hoppy Birthday > Bad Boy > Tuatara > Duet > Pure Hoppiness > Expo > Double Nelson Cask > Super IPA

    Having been spoiled by all of Alpine's IPA's I can definitely taste New Belgiums thumprint on this beer (something in the malt profile...probably the melanoidin filler malt) All my friends think I'm crazy but I'm not a fan.

    You guys are also forgetting New Millenium, O'Brien's IPA and Red Card. And I'm probably forgetting others.

    So what awesome beer is Alpine going to release next? They've really been on a roll over the past month or so.

    I have yet to have it, but don't forget Ugly.

    and for me its Bad Boy > Nelson > Melon > Expo (this batch seems better then last) > who cares after this point they are all decent.

    Super ipa bottles have been inconsistent to me. Some are awesome, some have a bad harsh-bitter thing going on imo. Almost like.an artificially oaky flavor that stings on the finish. This has happened on 2/8 bottles, weird.

    I actually have some info on this. I was there when they started their brand new wet hop beer. Get your growlers ready.
