Alpine Brewing makes sublime beers, but subtle they are not, and the least subtle is Exponential Hoppiness, Alpine's triple IPA. Wow. Drinking this beer is like being hit by a two-by-four. My friend dropped off a growler last Friday and it took me a few days to wade through it. From its boozy, hop aroma to its rich, alcohol-infused taste, Exponential Hoppiness struts its aggressive claim as the the most dangerous beer in America. I heard that this batch of Expo was more than 11% alcohol, and I don't doubt it.
Expo is smooth and rich. Its explosive hop flavor is offset by plenty of malts, and despite its bitterness, Expo imparts a balanced sweetness. Expo is drinkable, too drinkable for its high level of alcohol. It taunts you to drink it, challenging you to a second glass. If you're not careful Expo will kick your ass fast. Alpine does not bottle this beer, so look for it at better beer bars. Be careful, pay attention and show this beer the respect it demands.
