Heady Topper

About

Heady Topper is a renowned double IPA brewed by The Alchemist in Vermont. It boasts an unfiltered and unpasteurized profile, with an ABV of 8%. The beer is celebrated for its complex flavor profile, featuring notes of orange, tropical fruit, pink grapefruit, pine, and spice. Heady Topper is not designed to be the strongest or most bitter IPA but rather to deliver wave after wave of hop flavors without astringent bitterness. Its creamy texture and balanced flavor make it highly sought after. The aroma includes floral, citrus, and piney notes, with a malty sweetness that balances the hoppy flavors. Despite its recommendation to drink from the can, pouring it into a glass reveals a spectacular nose and a well-balanced taste experience. Heady Topper has become a cultural phenomenon, influencing the New England IPA style and maintaining a strong following despite limited availability.
