Walking through the forests around the Olympic village you experience the enormity of the Adirondack Mountains. We offer this big, slightly piney brew in tribute to both the 27th High Peak and our ski jumps, which rise high above the trees. Here's to the heights!

Can (1435 on bottom of can--143rd day of 2025?) from Oliver's Beverage, Albany. Clear, pale gold, light sparkle, frothy head with fair retention, soapy lacing. Aroma is strong pine, apricot, bitter caramel. Taste follows aroma. Smooth, creamy texture, soft carbonation, finish as taste. Old school IPA. Can may be older than surmised above?

Bottle thanks to Jack! Pours a clear orange gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges and laces slightly. Aroma has citrus rind and pine with earthy grain and bread backing. Flavor is similar with pine and slightly earthy citrus rind with notes of bread and earthy grain backing.

This was poured into a nonic pint glass.
The appearance was a hazy golden orange color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within less than thirty seconds leaving some messy lacing roaming around the glass.
The smell had some apricot, mango and a dose of grapefruit wrapped up in a caramel malt to blend.
The taste was mainly sweet through the previously mentioned flavors. There’s mainly the sweet fruity aftertasteleading into a semi-sweet and semi-wet finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. Carbonation seemed good for the style yet the bitterness doesn’t show up.
Overall, I liked it for what it was but don’t expect the normal bitterness of an AIPA to enthrall you.
