Alpine’s original West Coast-style single IPA is made with Simcoe and Amarillo hops to strike a harmonious hop balance. Duet pours a hazy straw color and is topped with bright white beer foam. It offers a blast of resinous aromatics with notes of evergreen pine, orange zest, and hints of cedar. Big hoppy flavors mingle with geranial notes, while hints of citrus fruit and an overall lingering piney quality lend a touch of complexity to an otherwise simple and delicious IPA.

Can pour into nonic pint glass from Total Wine & More, Danvers. Appearance is lightly hazy piss yellow with nice sparkle, finger-width foamy off-white head with fair retention and mild leggy lacing. Aroma is pine and milder citrus. Taste follows aroma with malt backbone. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, thin texture, average-to-lively carbonation and crisp, dry finish as taste with lingering pleasant moderate bitterness. Overall, a little past its ideal freshness period (canned 7/26/19) but features are in harmony with one another. Though the world of IPA's has moved on from this, it must have been quite something when it was added almost 14 years ago and remains a classic. Well crafted and pleasant.
