Alaskan IPA

Pours an orange color in the glass with a small white head. Smells citrusy and floral with definite malt presence. Tastes light and crisp, a good balance of hops to malt. Tasty.

12 oz. bottle. Pours an orange/light amber color. Aroma: Hoppy, with a floral hint. Flavor: Slight bitterness, with just the right about of hops.

22oz bottle. Tinny, plasticy, strong catty urine, citruc acid, dried leaves and amonia in the nose. Flavor is strongly catty celery flavored hops, dried leaves, amonia, lemon juice, and dried lawn clippings. Can’t say I’m really digging this one, and after a full glass I’m pretty much sick of it. I think Alaskan whiffed on this one... but maybe the kind of hops they use really aren’t meant to be used in IPA, perhaps a bitter would be more suitable.

On tap @ the Hungry Stick Pool Bar. Pours orange with a little head. Taste is sweet, light and overall decently hoppy. Pretty drinkable IPA.

Bottle from Dirty Martini. Hazy pale body with a small white head. Sweet hoppy nose with citrus, dough and honey. The flavor is lightly sweet, lightly bitter with orange peal, tangerine, flowers and cotton candy. Medium body is a bit thin with moderate carbonation. More of an APA than IPA.

Pours an almost honey yellow color with a somewhat thick white head that leaves a little bit of lace on the glass. Smells more malty than hoppy to me. Just a bit of hops on the nose. Tastes nice and hoppy, not too much not too little. Quite a bit of malty flavor on the finish as well. Thinnish palate, nice crisp carbonation. Leaves a little coating on the mouth. Good IPA, attractive price $2.99.

this is new to the Bay area Burnished gold - clear with medium off white head. Lean malt background (light caramel) with medium light body - An un-east coast IPA - firm bitterness with pine, grapefruit pith characteristics. Nothing too much in the aroma some grapefruit and floral notes Good beer nothing special to seek out

Clear orange, moderate head, some lacing and retention. Aroma is grapefruit, wood, caramel. Cascades and Goldings? Medium bodied, moderate bitterness. Flavors don’t suit my preferences.
