Alpha King Pale Ale
12 oz brown bottle
Served in a hotel room mini glass

Pours a murky orange with some brown highlights on the top. Awesome trails of sticky lacings from this beer decorate the glassware.

Awesome aroma of citrus hop bombs, sweet sugars and a floral bouquet.

This beer has a solid base of chewy caramel malt with some brown sugar sweetness. The finish is what establishes this beer from the others. A wonderful hop blast finishes this with flavors of juicy orange slices, grapefruit and pine cone.

The hop flavors are not 'over the top' as is the case with some of other similar beers on the market. Don't get me wrong though, the hops are significant and super tasty, especially for an APA.

Enough with the analysis, this is one of hell of beer. A job well done by Three Floyds. Recommended.
