AAAlterrr Ego is a rendition of Alter Ego that utilizes additional kettle and dry hops to amplify and intensify the flavor profile of Alter Ego! Further, we alter the base beer in many ways throughout the brewing process to accept the additional hop charges. The result here is one that is exceptionally fruity and delicious. Layers of tropical fruit, mango, and stone fruit are presented here with a freshness and purity that is genuinely unique and exciting to our palate! We are in love with this beer.

Can. Pours juicy orange with foamy off-white head, faint peachy citrus aroma, low carbonation, mildly bitter peach-citrus-mango taste, smooth body, long finish. A super smooth and juicy NEIPA!

473ml can from a trade. Canned 11/27/18. Super hoppy, stingy fruity and grassy with some tropical notes, hints of hop burn and lingering bitterness. Pretty good.

16 oz. can. Dated: 11-20-18. Citrus, cracker malt backbone. Very light juice. Mild tropical fruit notes. No sugar or booze. Dry in the finish. These beers are entirely too hyped up in the state of Massachusetts. Again, good brew but it didn’t knock my socks off.

Canned 11/20, drunk 12/18 and on draught at the brewery, 12/7/18.
Heavily hazy, brass-lemon-golden with a white head that falls quickly to a ring.
Grassy, floral with lemon and nectarine. Interesting, this is like lighter and more bitter than Alter Ego, yet there's no pine or resin. Lots of bubble gum and heavy fruit ester with cracker and biscuit behind it and almost zero malt sweetness.
In the mouth it's grassy, moderately bitter and very citric. Hmmm, this is good but not quite as spectacular as expected. Very, very drinkable and extremely dry with lemon, biscuit, cracker, tangerine and nectarine. Just would like a bit more juicy pineapple, mango and honey, but can't argue with no alcohol or resin.

Can. Pours a cloudy yellow orange with medium frothy white head leaving spotty lacing. The aroma is mango, melon, floral. Slick body, very juicy, tropical fruit, grass, light bitterness, balanced, enjoyed this.

Pours a very hazy, orange-pineapple color, with smallish head. Strong tropical and stone fruit aromas (especially peach), with some basement dankness/sour washcloth. Flavor is very smooth, with the aforementioned tropical and stone fruit. There is a nice, slight touch of pine/spruce bitterness to the finish. Very good stuff.
