Production & Heritage

Alexander Brewery was founded in 2008 in the Emek Hefer region of central Israel and has since accumulated eight international awards, including five medals at the prestigious European Beer Star competition. Alexander Green is brewed in small batches using traditional European brewing techniques, combining imported European hops, malt, and yeast with Israeli water that has been purified through reverse osmosis. The brewery describes this expression as an IPA "with an Israeli twist," positioning it as a regional interpretation of the well-known hop-forward style rather than a strict adherence to American or British IPA conventions.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Citrus hops lead the nose, followed by bright orange peel and overripe tropical fruit. Layers of grapefruit and mango emerge as the beer warms.

Taste: The entry is smooth and moderately sweet, with citrus hop bitterness arriving on the mid-palate alongside faint pine resin. A full body carries mixed orange citrus and light tropical fruit through to a well-balanced peak where sweetness and bitterness meet.

Finish: The finish is defined by a grapefruit-like bitterness that lingers well beyond the last sip. The texture remains smooth, leaving a dry, resinous close that invites the next drink.

How to Drink Alexander Green

Pour into a tulip glass or standard pint glass at around 45°F (7°C) to let the hop aromatics open fully. This IPA also works well as a base in beer cocktails and food pairings:

• Michelada: The citrus-forward profile complements lime juice, hot sauce, and Worcestershire in this savory beer cocktail.
• Beer Margarita: The tropical and grapefruit notes blend naturally with tequila and fresh citrus.
• Shandy: Mix with lemonade to highlight the orange and mango aromatics while taming the bitterness for a refreshing warm-weather drink.

Best For

• Introducing friends to Israeli craft beer at a casual tasting
• Stocking a diverse IPA selection for a cookout or barbecue
• Gifting to a craft beer enthusiast interested in international brewing
• Pairing with grilled meats and bold, spiced dishes
