Commercial Description:
Alaskan IPA is honey gold in color with a fruity, citrus aroma. An enticing blend of hops and our dry hopping process, in which hops are added directly to tanks during fermentation, give this brew a very intense, complex aromatic character with a refreshing hop finish.

A pretty distinct IPA. I had about a dozen while bowling the other night, and they were definitely a lot nicer than the Manny’s my friends were drinking (nothing against Manny’s, I’ve just had it a ton). Typical hoppy taste but with a cirtusy kick. Didn’t see much head, but the waitress was probably letting them sit a few minutes before bringing them over.

12 oz bottle. light straw color with a thin white head. faint aroma of citrus hops. a nice refreshing beer, just does not have the hop power that I would expect from an IPA. alaskans must not drink very hoppy beers...

Draught. High creamy and lasting white head. Clear yellow body. Dry fruity lemon grapefruit aroma and flavor. High carbonation and a long bitter aftertaste.

A little weak for an IPA in my opinion, but decent overall. It’s a very ordinary IPA, indistinguishable from so many other IPAs, though a little less flavorful than most also. Drinkable; Nothing more, nothing less.

12oz bottle. Pours a bright, clear, medium tarnished copper color; mixed-bubbled white head with good retention and lacing. Basic earthy and citrus bitterness in the aroma; a touch watery. Medium mouthfeel: lots of chewy, slightly astringent earthy and citrus-laden hoppiness upfront; very light metallic note present, with a basic candy sugar malt character; strong bitterness and a touch of astringency; slightly off. Medium finish: citrus and earthy bitterness, basic core maltiness, and some floral notes.

22oz bomber, stamped A092008--something about September 20th? Hopefully not the best by date. Purchased @ Bottle Barn. Aroma has pine and pine air fresheners, light perfume, and some watered-down caramel malts. Clear golden with a one finger off-white head, fading to a think film and thick ring. Flavor leans more malty, though not watered-down this time. There is still the soft pine notes, and floral perfume does come across a bit in the finish, which is semi-dry. Bitterness peaks at a 3-4. Moderate carbonation with a medium body. A good IPA. Not a West Coast hop bomb, but good.

Draught at the Yardhouse, Las Vegas
Deep blond color. Light hop aroma. some caramel flavor with light sweetness, some hopping. Unoffensive.
