Alphatier

◎ Appearance

Alphatier presents a cloudy yellow-orange body beneath a stable white head with fine lacing. The haze derives from suspended yeast and adjunct material, characteristic of the New England IPA style. Carbonation appears moderate, supporting a dense and persistent foam collar.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright tropical and citrus notes—orange, mango, and grapefruit dominate, underpinned by a light spiciness. Edible hops deliver a forward, aromatic presence without aggressive resinous character. Malted grain contributes a subtle sweet backdrop, allowing the fruity hop profile to remain central.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and velvety, carrying the same stone fruit and citrus character present on the nose. Oat adjuncts lend a smooth, almost creamy mouthfeel that rounds the mid-palate. Bitterness arrives measured at 45 IBU, finishing with a lingering herbal bite that balances without overwhelming the fruity character.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and persistent, with the fruity hop notes gradually fading into a gentle herbal aftertaste. Bitterness lingers pleasantly, leaving no harsh edges or astringency.
