Alpenglow by Ground Up Brewing in New Zealand is an American-style IPA that's sure to delight hop enthusiasts. Brewed with a selection of New Zealand hops, this beer pours a hazy golden color with a dense white head that leaves behind a delightful lacing on the glass. The aroma is a burst of intense tropical fruit, including pineapple, mango, and grapefruit, complemented by notes of pine, citrus, and a hint of floral sweetness. On the palate, the beer is full-bodied and juicy, with the pineapple and mango flavors taking center stage, supported by grapefruit, orange, and lemon notes. The hops provide a moderate bitterness that balances the sweetness of the fruits, creating a well-rounded and refreshing experience. The medium-bodied mouthfeel is smooth and creamy, with a lively carbonation that adds to the refreshing quality of this IPA. The finish lingers with a pleasant tropical fruit aftertaste, making this a beer that's both enjoyable to drink and suitable for pairing with a variety of foods.
