Description
The Alchemist is a family run brewery specializing in fresh, unfiltered IPA. John and Jen Kimmich originally opened The Alchemist as a 60 seat brew pub in the village of Waterbury in 2003. After eight years of success and growing popularity, they decided to open a small production brewery. Today The Alchemist currently operates two breweries in Vermont and distributes Heady Topper and Focal Banger throughout the state.

The original and it shows. Tastes old school, dank, bitter, strong, mild haze. Nice but still 2000s. J&b ams

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?

Long sought after, I finally located a 16 oz can at As Is NYC yesterday. I poured a small amount in a provided glass to see what it looked like. A cloudy orange body with a nicely persisting head of absolutely white foam. It smelled hoppy certainly along with grain and tropical fruit. It tasted of cedar pine, hops, grapefruit, pineapple, honeydew and dankness. There’s a pretty decent bitterness. Is it West Coast or New England style? No matter, a fine beer although I anticipated something absolutely top level.

Can thanks to BillyT for the can. It pours hazy yellow - blonde with a medium fluffy white head. The aroma is fresh, clean, summer meadow, daisies, grass, freshly baked bread, twist of lemon - lime, white grape and gooseberry. The taste is crispy, dry, snappy, touch of bitterness, green, grassy, herbal, peppery spice, cracker, bready, waxy citrus, fragrant and floral with a drying finish. Medium body and fine to moderate carbonation. Quite a hearty malt base. Works well.

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.
