The perfect balance between Pliny the elder and grapefruit sculpin! Amazingly good. Love the rye backbone.

Stop!!! This is not a Alpine Beer, this was brewed by Green Flash, I have been to Alpine and have enjoy this beer, not to say it is a bad beer, but if you want the great beer that Alpine brews, you have to go to the brewery, it is in a Green Flash bottle and states it is brewed in San Diego, not Alpine, what is different is the Nelson hops are muted, it is more bitter, does not have the white wine characteristics, not a clean finish, wow, what a big disappointment, still a very good west IPA, but not world class as the original

14th Street Quick Pick Liquor comes through again. Ecstatic to finally have access to this incredible beer in bottles.

Alpine Nelson with NZ hops. Way better to my taste than the Duet. Luckily the Duet just kicked when I was settling. Big citrus upfront to contrast with the straight bitterness of the Duet, followed by grass and rye. Not as strong flavor as the Duet, but somehow this just tastes better. Maybe it's the cinnamon that finally subdued...
