No. 394 San Diego Pale Ale

What a special beer, the story behind this great beer is just as great, big tropical and citrus notes, hops are sweet and not bitter, in my opinion rivals Zombie Dust, so much easier to get too, Awesome Pale Ale, SD style!!! — 8 years ago

Alpine Beer Company

Pure Hoppiness Beer

Fantastic hop-forward DIPA. Pithy, herbal, resinous, with notes of mint and juniper—this stands out from many high ABV IPAs in really showcasing the hops. Comparable to Nelson in overall quality. — 8 years ago
