Alaskan IPA

From the tap poured amber with a good amount of head. Nice hoppy flavor with a lingering finish.

Bottled@SBWF 2009
Orange color, small white head. Orange, bready aroma. Bready malty, orange-hoppy (fruity) flavor. A bit sweet aftertaste, late bitterness. Basic IPA which is maybe almost APA.

6 pack from MCAS Miramar Marine Mart: Hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma is lightly grassy citrus and pine. Flavor starts fruity sweet with citrus followed by a sweet, semi-dry grapefruit bitter finish. Medium body is creamy with moderate carbonation.

Decent aroma, fairly smooth. Nothing spectacular, but very drinkable. Drinking from a bottle now...tasted much better right off the line at the brewery in Juneau. Great little tasting room if anyone makes it that far up.

From a 12 oz bottle. Pours a light golden color which frankly scared me because it is advertised as an IPA. Aroma was piney hops. Head diisappeared quickly. No lacing to speak of. Taste was definitely hops - I’d say more on the piney side than citrus as advertised. There is a finishing taste that I can’t quite put my finger on but all in all, not bad. Decent IPA.

A sturdy, dependable IPA. Nothing special, but it’s a good ace in the hole.

12 oz bottle. Pours a slightly hazy deep gold with a thin lasting head and very nice lace. Aroma is grassy nutty earthy minty, english and tea-like hops, and light citrus. Flavor is clean, some grass, light herbs, mint, tea, toast, cracker with a crisp finish- light on the hops and bittering. Average at best. Seems too old school-like. Gotta get with the times and step up the hops even for a regular IPA.

Bottle, 355ml - Clear golden orange beer with a small head. Aroma is fruity with notes of caramel and grapefruit. Flavor is malty with notes of citrus, caramel and grassy hops. Nice and typical IPA, nothing more nothing less.
