In recognition and celebration of our 20th year, we have crafted this special take on our favorite beer. Everything you love about the original, but tweaked and punched up to a whole new level.
This 20th Anniversary Heady Topper will be brewed and released quarterly over the next year, so don't worry if you miss it the first time.
It seemed only natural that we would make this special variant in honor of this important milestone.
A warm thank you to all our customers, staff members, and partners who have helped us along the way. Thank you for a special 20 years, and here's to celebrating our future together.
With love, gratitude, and respect,
John, Jen, and the entire Alchemist family.

Сразу хочу сказать что дизайн просто лучший что я видел. Аромат действительно сразу напоминают оригинал только усиленный, как и сказано в описании. Цвет желтый, полу мутное тело, пенка небольшая. Вкус снова двойной оригинал. Немного меда, умеренная сладость, много травы, цедра от цитрусовых фруктов. Послевкусие суховатое, уже почти одна трава, сено прям. В целом намного больше зашло чем оригинал, прям действительно больше вкуса, хотя и горечь запредельная.

Can shared by Kyle, thanks! Pours a slightly hazy yellow gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has dank citrus and some onion with a bit of marijuana and sweet grains backing. Flavor has dank citrus with sweet grains with a growing onion and earthy pine backing.

16oz can pours a thick looking, translucent dark gold with some clingy white head. Nose is c hops and malt and some soap. Big honey comb thing. Flavor is huge on the honey and C hops. Huge HopSlam vibes. Malt. Soap. Some pine. Pithy. Full bodied, off dry. It's good, but maybe over done. Who likes this more than the original?

Intensely hoppy, malty and herbal with some pine, grass, resin, caramel and hints of warming alcohol, long lasting lingering bitterness. Quite heavy and malty. OG Heady Topper is perhaps slightly more balanced, but this one is still quite tasty.

Batch 3 Can at home in the garden from J and B Craft Drinks, 26th July 24, this was canned end of May 24. Pours off clear and golden orange, minimal head. Aroma is candied oranges, pith, pine resin. Taste is super punchy, big resinous pine, pithy grapefruit and orange rind, and a long bittersweet and pithy bitter finish, with linger that goes on and on, delicious Edit for Batch 4 - canned 29th August 24, consumed 22nd November 24, from J and B Craft Drinks, aroma is pine and pith, dank, resinous. Taste is bitter, earthy and dank, some booze, lots of bittersweet and pithy notes, intense and a privilege, maybe Batch 3 had the edge though

Can consumed on my day of birth. It pours lightly hazy luminous golden - yellow with a fluffy white head. The aroma is fresh, bright, freshly cut grass, dank, slightly herbal, sticky, resin, sappy pine, ripe orangey fruits, marmalade, juicy, mango, papaya and a splash of Fanta. The taste delivers a very pleasing hit of bitterness upfront which lingers throughout, drying, green, weedy, herbal, slightly dank, spicy vibes, pithy, zesty, orange rind, grapefruit, pomelo, tropical accents, mango, papaya, pine needles and big ol' slap of alcohol towards the back end to keep you in check. Finish is green and bitter. Medium body and moderate, well appointed carbonation. Hides abv very well. Exquisite balance and high drinkability. Lovely.

Can from Explosivedog: barely misty with sediment. Big white head. Aroma is citrus, mango, spice, some tropics. Easy drinking for size. Pretty intense. Sorr of bitter. Very fruity. Spiciness adds an element in mouthfeel. A lot.
