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!

Draft at the source. Clear golden color, white head. Nice fruity aroma, oranges and mango. Taste is bitter orange, more bitter than I’d expect from a session IPA.

4oz pour at the Northern Virginia BrewFest. Poured a light copper color with a small white head. Aroma was a lot of floral and light citrus juicy hops, with a light malt backing. Flavor had plenty of light floral and citrus hops. Touch of pine. While a touch thin and light, the 4.5% abv is quite refreshing, making this pretty quaffable.
