It has a clear copper color without a head on the beer. The smell is citrus. The taste of this full body has a sweet carbonated citrus with a dry hop finish. It is pretty drinkable beer.
Here is a description from the beer bottle:
Alchemy Ale turns hops, water, malt and yeast into liquid gold. It’s the purest expression of our beliefs about great beer. perfectly balanced, perfectly hopped and perfectly refreshing.

Closing out, Alchemy Ale is great and made very well. They put some thought behind this beer. There is a nice balance between the hops and the malt. It is pretty drinkable beer and it will get you in trouble if you are not paying attention. This is a great beer however, I am pretty disappointed that they dropped and stop making their Drifted Pale Ale. I will be honest. I was not a fan of this beer right away but it grew on me. I am not saying this beer made me forget the Drifted Pale Ale and it will not. I recommend you trying this beer. Go get some! Drink i! Enjoy it! Metal it! \m/
Cheers!
