Afterglow

Tap to rate

Pineapple, coconut and ripe mango roll in first, lush and juicy over a smooth mouthfeel. A resinous backbone carries the beer, and the bitterness stays crisp and lingers on. Afterglow is Alefarm's house double IPA, hopped with Strata, Azacca and Simcoe and brewed with malted barley, oats and wheat for the moments that linger.

◌ Aroma

The nose is immediately dominated by tropical stone fruit—ripe mango, pineapple, and coconut leap forward with candied sweetness. Beneath the fruit sits a pronounced resinous undertone from the Strata, Azacca, and Simcoe hops, grounding the aromatics with herbal and piney notes. A faint cereal whisper from the oat and wheat adjuncts completes the bouquet.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with lush, juicy tropical flavors—mango and pineapple deliver immediate sweetness before a smooth, oat-forward body rounds out the mid-palate. The resinous backbone emerges distinctly, carrying a clean bittering character that builds steadily without harshness. Bitterness remains crisp and focused, lingering pleasantly without overwhelming the fruit.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
