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.

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.

Pours gold/amber with a white head. Smells of citrus and earthy. Tastes citrusy and nicely bitter with a grapefuit like finish. Nice!

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.

This poured a clear bronze body with a tall off-white head that did some heavy lacing. It’s got an aroma of orange petals and grapefruit with a small whiff of pine over a light malty sweetness. The flavor is balanced more like an APA, pale malt equaled by the hoppy bitterness. The finish recues the drink by having a prolonged, if mild, pine and grapefruit bitterness. A lawnmower IPA.

Bottle: Oh, nice new Alaskan beer with a pretty green label that really draws the eye. Pours like the color of blond miso paste, puffy thick white head. The nose is crisp with some fresh pale malt, but it’s a bit overattenuated or just mashed too low, as the hops aren’t joining the party and the only sugars left are the boring types. The rest have been turned into this 6.4% bottle of grassy water. Thin, lacking evolution based on the climate of todays microbrew industry. If we’re seeing growth in sales, shouldn’t we be seeing growth in quality? I digress; I guess Juneau really is a long ways away from San Diego.
