Alchemist Brewing Heady Topper Review
Cracking open a can of Heady Topper is like taking a quick plunge into a dank basement where a live band is playing, and simultaneously stepping outside for a smoke break in a forest on a cold winter night. Pine, earth, herbs, and a little citrus swirl in an aromatic haze, then land on the palate in a moment of clarity: hops. It's all about the hops. Flavors such as citrus, thyme, and forest funk continue transporting you to another time and place.
