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.

Draft. A golden beer with a lazing white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of malt and caramel as well as light notes of hops - my guess is Cascade. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and Cascade hops, leading to a dry, bitter, and grassy finish.

Bomber with many thanks to gorditoabd. Pours a fairly light gold with a big sudsy head and decent aromas of floral hops, a bit of pineapple and a touch of mango. Flavor is mild and kind of soapy... not the explosion of hops that I was hoping for. To me, it seems like there is just not enough hops, and as it is, this comes off as a good IPA to ease someone in to the style.

12oz bottle. Pours a crystal clear, pale golden body with a finger-width, foamy, white head that dissipates slowly and leaves a lot of nice lacing. Aroma is caramel and sweet, piney citrus. Same flavor with some honey in there as well. Impressive balance with lots of nice, soft caramels and easy on the palate piney hops. Slightly dry with a moderate bitter finish. Not as dry as some more intense IPAs. Palate is medium bodied and very quaffable. Overall, a nice, well balanced IPA. Very drinkable and a great session IPA.

12oz bottle from Lukas Liquors in Lone Tree. Pours golden with white head. Aroma is grassy hops, bready malts with light citrus. Flavor is citrus, hops, and some malt. Flavor is much more present than the aroma. Nice carbonation. Nothing speacial but cheers to my first beer from Alaska.

Thanks Shawntana. Golden yellow with a large white head that leaves some decent lacing. Aroma of pine, citrus and some bready malts. Taste of citrus, especially grapefruit and some sweet malt with some twigs mixed in. Finishes up moderately bitter and that bitterness tends to last awhile. Decent, but not spectacular.

citrus, pineapple aroma. Big pillowy head. Citrus, resin flavour, with more-ish finish of honey, marmalade and a rounded bitterness. Slightly mineral finish. Very easy drinking.

Bottle (in NZ), pours orange gold with a filmy head. Strong hop aroma of juicy fruit. Plenty of hops on the palate, deliciously citrus and moreish, with an earthy finish.

Pours a clear golden color with a thin white head. Aroma was slightly hoppy, nothing overwhelming. Also some bread and yeast notes. Flavor was also pretty underwhelming, really mild hops and something a bit metallic. Not terribly impressed.
