A barrage of aroma explodes from the glass. Columbus, our high-alpha friend, lends a huge pithy citrus blast, with Ahtanum providing a punchy tropical fruit back-up.
Brewing with rye adds a spiciness to the speciality malt caramel backbone, giving a warm ginger snap flavour, before slowly the hops, barley and rye combine and build to an orangey, biscuit. Almost chocolately crescendo.
Alpha Pop is the alpha dog of rye pales; the leader of the pack, a firebrand for other beers to follow behind, in a full-on spicy hoppy assault on the senses.

A szokásos brewdogos, citrusos illat, bár nem olyan intenzív, mint mondjuk a Dead Pony-nál. Habja nem sok van, és az is gyorsan elolvad. Keserű! Nem kicsit! Mellette halvány citrusosság. Nem tudom hol a rozs. Talán több hasonlót kellene inni! :) Utóíze keserű, és keserű, és keserű... Egyébként telt, testes sör.

Bottle in my Helsinki hotel room. It pours clear golden-orange with a decent foamy white head. The nose is earthy, spicy, brown bread, rye, pine, mango, orange peel and candied peel. The taste is bitter-sweet upfront, then rye bread, leather, peppery spice, tangerine, orange peel, touch of caramel and some piney action with a dry finish. Medium body and average carbonation. Pretty decent stuff.

Bottle shared with JMD at HNB 24.01.15. Unclear golden. White head. Fine aroma of American hops, citrus, bitter grapefruit and succade. Similar taste. Dry mouthfeel and good drinkability.

0,33 flaske fra HelgøMeny Hundvågkrossen, kveldens siste delt med Ovesen etter vellykket brygging av dobbelbock jan-15: kortvarig storboblet skum, lett uklar gylden. Deilig humlearoma, og med frisk rugsyrlig citrussmak. Slank. Kort ettersmak. Lett å helle innpå.
