Beer Alternatives
hopIQ found 10 beers with the same tropical and hoppy character as Alley Hop Imperial IPA. Bellazzi's maximal statement in hop brewing — an Imperial IPA dry-hopped to excess with a rotating selection of American and New World varieties. Deep gold with a dense white head; the nose is an assault of tropical fruit, fresh pine resin and citrus peel barely contained by the high alcohol. The palate is intensely bitter and complex with tropical hop oils, a warming alcohol base and enough malt sweetness to prevent the bitterness from becoming harsh. At 90 IBUs and 9.5%, the Alley Hop is not a subtle beer. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
