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.

After sampling a bunch of DIPAs at Naja’s IPA fest, this one didn’t really stand up on its own feet. A faint pine aroma, a bit too thin in the body. Bright orange color, thin white head. Not very impressed.

Pours a clear golden with lots of effervessence and a good billowy white head. Aroma is grassy with some nice citrus. I’ve had countless IPAs with grassy aromas, but I doubt I’ve ever had one with a grassy flavor, until now. Very earthy, wonderfully spicy with a very good hoppiness, but not without a strong malt backbone with a good grainyness. This is really a nice IPA, far better than I had expcected, if a bit one dimensional.

Pours a crystal clear orange-gold with a nice beige cap of foam. Aroma is soft and sweet, with notes of peach, orange, and bubblegum. A bit too faint and sweet for me. Candied lemon wedge flavor with some pithy grapefruit and a pale malt finish with medium bitterness. A little sweet overall but the hops are bright and the bitterness is solid and unastringent.

Bottle. Poured clear bronze with white head. Grainy aroma with some citrus. Hoppy taste with a bit of pine. Hoppy finish. I found no maltiness in this.

Bottle, as they were out at the brewery tasting. Very typical of the style. Over hopped and under malted. As a hop head, I can get into this, though.

Another bottle shared by robert at SL. Overall a nice little IPA. Light orange in color, ok head. Decent bitterness. Not watery but lighter in texture good beer...

Crisp, but ultimately flavorless. The aroma is that of a pine forest - giving you high expectations. The first taste, however, is a grapefruit note. After that it fades quickly. This IPA poured a clear gold to light amber in a half-yard. The head was white and frothy.

Bottle. Light grain note for the malt, moderate aroma of flowers for the hops, no noticeable yeast smell, and a hint of wood in the background. Head is average sized, frothy, white with good lacing and is mostly diminishing. Color is clear amber. Flavor is lightly sweet and moderately acidic, then finishes moderately acidic and bitter. Palate is light to medium, watery, has a carbonation between lively and fizzy and finishes dry. Pretty simple on the aromas, but as crisp and clean as an IPA gets.
