Product details

Impossible to track down and destined to be drank from a can, this brew is a tribute to the infamous man with a head full of hops and the tenacious Alchemists that are its creators. Brew this elusive IIPA yourself with our recipe kit.

Intense hop aroma blows through with hurricane force, swirling up from a whirlwind of hazy liquid gold. Borne from a legendary Noraster, Off the Topper is a writhing tropical storm of fruity pineapple and dank piney-peach.

In a true work of sorcery, the Off the Topper IIPA beer kit creates synergy between Vermont yeast and an unprecedented flood of lupulin. Overcoming its intense origins, it is a rare, harmonious pint that is extreme only in its drinkability. Beneath the frothing, massive head lies a beacon of freshness and light in each pint. At the eye of the storm is a dry and crisp body. A complex and delicious Imperial IPA, Off the Topper balances bitterness with well-attenuated yeast that work together to weather the hurricane of hops.


Preparing a yeast starter is highly recommended when using the Vermont Ale Liquid Yeast. This will help reduce the lag time before fermentation begins.

Questionable yeast

Ingredients arrived as ordered, however, the was supposed to be in a cold pack envelope. The yeast was in the insulated envelope, but the envelope was open and the cold pack was loose in the box, no longer cold. The yeast was also not cold and was likely exposed to a wide range of temperatures on its way (August weather = hot).

Made the beer anyway, and used a yeast starter to make sure the yeast was as good as it could be before I pitched it. Overall, despite hitting the OG on the button, it quit fermenting a little early, resulting in an 8% beer coming in at around 6.75%.

Not a big deal, and the beer is turning out fine, but this isn't the first time the packing job left a little to be desired.

Not what I expected

It’s been 3 weeks since I bottled and no carbonation. The taste is not close to heady topper, not sure why this is called a clone.

Complex, modest hoppy beer

A mathematician’s dream that provides a fine, modestly hoppy, medium colored IPA
