Alpha King: The King of Pale Ales

American Pale Ale    6.66% ABV

Brewed by Three Floyds Brewing Co. Munster, Indiana

Notes: 66 IBUs (International Bittering Unit). Brewed with Centennial, Cascade, and Warrior hops.

Background: This is Three Floyd’s flagship beer. They label  it as a BIG American Pale Ale.

Appearance: It pours a deep amber color. It has a solid 1 inch of creamy white head.

Aroma: Pretty strong hop aroma. Hints of citrus and floral aromas.

Taste: Alpha King is a fantastic Pale Ale. It has a crisp, hoppy flavor. Pretty hoppy taste as far as Pale Ales go. Very smooth all around. If you are a hophead you will definitely enjoy this beer. The hops, malt, and citrus blends very well together.

Overall: I would rate this beer a 95/100. This is hands down one of my favorite beers, if I see it on tap, I order it. Not your typical Pale Ale as there is a much higher hop flavor than expected. Three Floyd’s is one of the best breweries around, and there aren't many better beers to hang your hat on than Alpha King.
