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.

Can via BillyT. It pours hazy golden - yellow with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma fresh, fragrant, bready malt, sponge cake, biscuit, apricot, peachy, orange sherbet, fizzy candy, touch herbal and cracker. The taste is crispy, dry, snappy, tart, puckering, orange, tangerine, kumquat, peach, apricot, mango, grass, straw, herbal accents, light acidity, crackery malts and freshly baked white bread with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Fresh, bright, zingy and effortlessly drinkable. Deserves a higher score than it currently has.

Can from MrBarleywine, thanks as always for hooking me up! Can pours a mostly clear deep copper with an off white head that slowly dissipates. Rich toasty bready crackery burnt sugar aromas with hints of earthy fruity hopiness to counter. Medium body light alcohol warming. Very nice.

Can from Mrbarleywine, thanks for hooking me up. Chill hazy yellow but almost gold. Bready crackery malt with earthy spicy hops to counter. Huge Pilsner Urquell vibes from this one, likely Saaz. Really nice

Can from Corti Bros. Pours orange tinged hazy gold with a huge foamy white head that laced down slowly. Aroma of apples, floral, citrus and very light toffeeish malt. Med body. Flavor is earthy/dry/bitter. And this is a NEIPA! Flavor is somewhat of the aroma but add in some melon and zest. Amazing flavor.

Can from the brewery, pouring a dark brown colour with some copper-lightly-ruby highlights. The warm beige head is big, creamy, long lasting and leaving good dirty lacing. Roasted malt nose with some vanilla, oat softening and a touch of cacao. The taste has the roasted barley, wet, mild, with some light sweetness, creaminess and the dryness being very light. A heavier Schwarzbier, if that is your thing. Had the Von Trapp one today at the brewery, and preferred it.
