A Note on This Beer

Each limited-release Alpha Abstraction IPA only drops once and sells out FAST! Don’t bother packing up the car and heading to Wild Leap’s taproom — they’re already out of today’s tropically citrusy #13!

In fact, the ONLY place you’ll still find a drop of this beer is right here! And, if you’re a hazehead, you’re not going to want to miss this one.

With the coconut and citrus flavors of Sabro Hops, even Wild Leap co-founder Rob Goldstein places today’s Alpha Abstraction Volume 13 in his top 3 favorites!

Rob isn’t the only fan. @Zach M. says #13 is the “best one yet!” And @Mason G. takes it one step further: “I wish Wild Leap would adopt me.” We all do Mason, we all do.

Each succulent sip of #13 spills across the taste buds like a wave of fresh-squeezed OJ and juicy mango, along with a touch of the sweet coconut flavor Sabro Hops are renowned for.

It’s the latest in the series that rocketed Wild Leap to craft beer fame, helping them earn the coveted Best New Brewery Award from USA Today last year. You guys love it, too — we’ve shared the last 6 versions of Alpha Abstraction, and you’ve rated every single one 4+ on Tavour!

If you’ve been lucky enough to taste any brew from this celebrated series, you probably want to know how today’s release stacks up. Now’s your chance.

Rated 4.23 on Untappd!

Daily Corona battle. Sabra hop layered. Which isn’t always my fave...one I’m still figuring out. But this is delightful. Juicy. Soft.

Hazy and juicy. Fruity aromas flow forth and there's a nice bitterness behind it

Just done well. Have to appreciate good brewing decisions. THAT is why everyone rates this as high as they do. No its not special but it sure is good. What else do you want? It to dance for you?

Oh my gosh, I love this! It’s really different - a concentrated hoppy Sabro juice punch that might be a little much after a lot of drinking. But I feel like I really KNOW the Sabro hop now, and I enjoy the richness as a delightful treat.

I gotta say im shocked by all the other reviews. This was okay but absolutely nothing special. Just your garden variety NEIPA, this was underwhelming and disappointing. Why do i feel like all these other people rating this beer are tasting an NEIPA for the first time? If that were the case for me, maybe my rating would be higher (a beer that tastes like juice with an 8%abv? Amazing!) In a world where the market is absolutely monopolized by this style of beer, it is maddening to see it so rarely done to my liking. I LOVE a good NEIPA, and in my opinion this is just not that. Just another orange juice with no pulp. I dont want a LITERAL bottle of Sunny D when i pick up a beer. For reference, Holy Hermit by Moonraker is probaby my favorite NEIPA and one of the most delicious beers ive ever tasted.

The Alpha Abstraction series is probably my favorite IPA. Highly drinkable, with no bitterness and subtle complexity. Rock on, Wild Leapers,

Orange flavors, thicker mouthfeel. Classic Wild Leap IPA flavors. Easy drinking for 8% ABV.
