And of course, Alternate Ending steps in as the Fifth Element—bringing balance to the universe (and the beer) with Pacific Sunrise. The result? A cosmic fusion of tropical bursts, white wine zing, citrusy brightness, and a comet-trail of dank fruitiness. A hazy double IPA that’s as over-the-top and unforgettable as the film itself.

16 oz can from the brewery, 10/5/25 (canned 10/2/25). Big Congrats to Brendan, Scott, Steve, and the rest of the AE team on their 5th Anniversary! Pours a fully hazy orange color with a large, foamy, and frothy white head that leaves heavy lacing on the glass. Tons of hop flavor, with some juicy tropical hops (mango, passion fruit, papaya), some pineapple/ pine, and some white grape all coming through. Bit of that heavy hop oil / green hop thing on the flavor profile, but otherwise it's just bold and extra hop forward. Not much not to like here, curious to see if a week or two longer in the can settles it a bit, bit it's damn good right now.
