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.

Looks like a pilsner, clear gold, white head, nice hoppy flavor and aroma. At $2.79 per bomber, it’s a pretty good deal.

I’m really surprised by how low this beer is ranking. It’s a really solid ipa, somewhat fruity rather than hoppy, so maybe it’s not a traditional ipa, but it’s a great beer.

Appearance: Pours a clear, light orange-hued body with a lush, bubby off-white head. Smell: Pleasantly aromatic nose of citrus and soap with a mild addition of caramel malts. Taste: Juicy citrus flavors of lemon and tangerine. Only a faint hint of caramel as not too much maltiness shows up. There’s a medium bitterness which drops out for a pretty clean, light finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: It could use a bit more of everything, but as it stands it’s still a decent, easy drinking light IPA.

This beer poured an orange color. A faint lemon and pine aroma. The flavor is only somewhat bitter with some lemons and grapefuit showing. This one seemed rather one dimensional and not very complex. Overall a sub par IPA.

Pours a transparent bright bronze with a thin, stringy-lacing white head. Aroma of slight grainy malts and some lemon citrus hops. Starts lightly sweet and pale malty with some earthy piny bittering hops toward a drier, bittersweet. This needs a bigger, more assertive hop presence, but it’s still quite drinkable.

clear gold amber with a medium small head. woody orange resin aroma. medium light body. light bitterness and citrus hops with a grassy caramel malt. okay but a little light dont know if i’d really call it a IPA
