My mom’s cousin has a brewery in
Waterbury Vermont. It's called The Alchemist; His Double IPA Heady Topper is
rated as one of the best beers in the country. Unless you travel to Vermont it
is impossible to get hold of one of these beers. Fortunately, my cousin came out
this past November and brought me about 16 cans of this beautiful delicious
beer! Here is my review! Enjoy and hopefully one day you will get your hands on
this perfect beer! CHEERS!
Pours a nice hazy orange color, with a big creamy head on top. A fair amount of sticky lace left behind.
Wonderfully aromatic with a ton of citrusy hop
character. Grapefruit and orange stick right out there. A fair amount of sweetness, with even a slight vanilla-like note, that is certainly unexpected but rather
pleasant.
The bright and citrusy hop aromas carry over well
into the palate. Deliciously hoppy without the mouth puckering bitterness you
often find in DIPAs(double IPA’s). Sweeter than your typical IPA/DIPA but not
cloying at all.
Comes across with a nice smooth and
creamy medium body feel. Overall, Heady Topper is hard to beat. One of the best Double IPA'S I have had and I am not just saying that because of my relation to the brewer=] Cheers!
