Alpine HFS (355ml)

Alpine's "perfect" IPA: intense hop character and light, tropical notes

Bronze Medal Winner
American-Style Strong Pale Ale category, Great American Beer Festival 2016

A light-bodied India Pale Ale with a robust tropical fruit flavor and an excellent balance of hops and malt.

Named HFS because the fantastic aroma and balanced flavor produced by the combination of Mosaic, Simcoe, and Citra hops will make you exclaim, “Holy F***ing S***!” the moment you taste it.

Shawn McIlhenney, Alpine's Head Brewer, says:

"We are always striving to make the best beer possible, but this beer was perfect from the start. We didn't need to adjust anything; it had everything we look for in a beer — intense hop aroma, light drinkability, and high drinkability — all perfectly balanced."

Poured into a glass, it fills the air with fruity aromas of mango, orange, and grapefruit, with subtle floral and pine notes.

The taste mirrors the aroma, brimming with fruit flavors like mango, orange, and grapefruit, coexisting with robust, satisfying hop flavors reminiscent of pine and resin.

Light-bodied with a clean finish. The hop bitterness lingers on the palate.
