With a lightning strike of exotic hops, the Alpha Effect is a hazy and dank IPA thundering with juicy hop aroma and flavor. Take cover!

Orange and hazy though not as milkshake looking as some. Aroma has weird hops, cheesy (though not in the way I think stale hops), mango and pineapple, b.o., flavor and juicy and fruity, with a tropical fruit and resin hop edge, semi-dry finish, low bitterness.

Bottle from Total Wine, South Richmond. Pours murky orange with floaties. Small off-white head. Aroma is tropical fruit, pine, resin (perhaps too much for my taste). Flavor is juicy citrus, pineapple, mango. Pine in there in the back end and not overly resiny (nose threw me off). Nice lacing on the glass.

A little more than just "hazy". Kinda chunky

Tap at Gambrinus. Pours a murky copperish gold with a finger of white foam that lingers. Orange and grapefruit on the nose. Light caramel, overripe orange and lots of zesty bitterness. Bitter finish that lingers. Not a NE style IPA nor a dank bomb. But still tasty in an old school midwest kinda way. --- Beer merged from original tick of The Alpha Effect on 02 May 2017 at 22:41 - Score: 6. Original review text: Orange and grapefruit. Caramel on the palate with more grapefruit and overripe orange. Bitter finish.
