Nerdsense Drinks – #1019 The Alchemist Heady Topper (Re-Review!)

Beer Details
*******************************
Style: Double IPA
Container: 16oz Can
Notes:We love hops – that’s why our flagship Double IPA, Heady Topper, is packed full of them. Heady Topper was designed to showcase the complex flavors and aromas these flowers produce. The Alchemist has been brewing Heady Topper since 2003. This Double IPA is not intended to be the strongest or most bitter DIPA. It is brewed to give you wave after wave of hop flavor without any astringent bitterness. We brew Heady Topper with a proprietary blend of six hops – each imparting its own unique flavor and aroma. Take a big sip of Heady and see what hop flavors you can pick out. Orange? Tropical Fruit? Pink Grapefruit? Pine? Spice? There is just enough malt to give this beer some backbone, but not enough to take the hops away from the center stage (8%)

Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #99 The Alchemist Beelzebub

Mike managed to initiate a trade (with one of my beers) for a beer we didn’t expect to get on the show for awhile. The Alchemist’s, American Imperial Stout, Beelzebub graces our table this week!

Style: American Imperial Stout
Container: 16oz Can
Glassware: Nerdsense Snifters
Notes:The intensely smooth and rich roasted flavor is complemented by the unmistakable presence of hops. The bitterness is held in check, preserving the flavors of dark chocolate. This ale is aggressively dry hopped with Citra to cut through it all. (8.0%)

Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #61 The Alchemist The Crusher

Oh yes! We got some Crusher by The Alchemist!

 

Style: Double IPA
Container: 16oz Can
Glassware: Flutes
Notes:The Crusher is an American Double IPA that I started making years ago at the old pub. Hop heads were constantly asking for more hops. So, in the words of Frank Zappa, “Did you say you want some more? Well here’s some more.” While I enjoy hops with the rest of them, I still try to maintain some semblance of balance and drinkability. This beer is oozing with hop flavor and aroma with a very dry finish. Enjoy responsibly, this one can sneak up on you. (9%)
Rating: 4.75/5
