Meet Alpha. Amazing hop character, satisfying malt backbone, smooth finish. Light malt sweetness give way to dazzling citrus and pine hoppy goodness...you know you want to try it. Don't overthink it. Just drink it. Cheers!

2 month old can actually labelled as hoppy pale ale > shaker pint A: Poured a hazy deep orange gold with 1" of tight beige foam, retaining to the very end of the glass. S: Sweet orange and toffee scent is very light but much maltier than expected T: Bitter citrus with lots of tangerine and orange zest and also some pith. A woody malt note but no sweetness. Tart orange aftertaste. M: Pretty full texture for the ABV with lively carbonation scrub leaving a bitter finish. O: Impressive for depth of appearance and flavor, packing a lot into 4.5%. Highly recommended.

Sampled at the brewery, pours a clear orange with some creamy, white head. Nose blends gristy character and hop, orange, mild grapefruit, pine, floral. Flavor has soap, pine, orange, mild malt, cracker, some lemon. Smooth finish.
