New Belgium-Alpine Brewing Lips of Faith Super IPA

I picked up a bottle of New Belgium-Alpine Beer Company collaboration Lips of Faith Super IPA from Honeygo Wines & Liquors.  The beer pours a golden color with a frothy white colored head that leaves specks of lacing on the glass. The aroma consists of marijuana, orange, tangerine, hop oil, pine, and spruce. The taste is funky and hoppy with tangerine, orange, lemon, and a marijuana finish. Hints of pepper and spice linger with some leather after taste. The alcohol content is 9.0% ABV. This was such a funky and amazing IPA that I would love to get more bottles. It had a great marijuana flavor with loads of citrus backing it up.

Alpine Beer Company Pure Hoppiness

I received a bottle of Alpine Beer Company Pure Hoppiness from the Beer Club 4 Men in a trade. The beer pours a golden color with a thin foamy white head. The aroma consists of caramel and lots of it with other accents such as grapefruit, pine, and sugar. The beer has a bubbly mouth feel when drank and the taste is bitter and hoppy with lots of grapefruit, tangerine, and orange peel. Pine, spruce, and pepper come out on the finish with a dry caramel after taste. Some hints of lemon also linger through the after taste. The alcohol content is 8.0% ABV. Pure Hoppiness was an excellent hoppy beer with plenty of bitterness to dry out the mouth, but also plenty of citrus flavors on a massive caramel base to keep the tongue happy.
