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.

An OK IPA. Orange pour with a small head. Aroma of malt and piney hops. Taste is mostly malt with a end hoppy bitterness. Not a bad everyday drinker.

Pale golden with a small white head. Jammy, peachy aroma, undertones of oranges and caramel. Medium body and a light hoppy mouthful... feels like a pretty light interpretation of an IPA. Bitterness is pretty restrained right through. Nice pleasant fruity flavours, amarillo perhaps, zesty fresh finish... very nice to drink.

Bottle. Poured gold with a white head. Aroma is really citrusy hoppy. Some mild malt also present. Taste is similarly straightforwad, though there isn’t too much malt. Pretty nice, refreshing IPA. Mouth is on the light side for and IPA, but not bad. Overall, a solid IPA.

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.

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.

bottle from Skyview. The aroma was pretty subdued on this one but what was there was just a faint hint of hops. The flavor was pretty sweet with low bitterness.

22oz bottle for $3.49 which is quite a rare price for a bomber these days. the first whiff of the bottle is instant grassy hops. It smells slightly more subdued in the glass. The color is yellow and the beer is quite clear. the flavor has some mild bitterness but not the hoppiness I expected after smelling the beer. Overall, not bad but given the quality of IPA’s these days it will be hard for this to compete. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 04-13-2009 19:16:55

Clear gold w/ big white head. Good fresh aroma. Fresh hoppy flavor too w/ a good bite to it. Crisp finish. Dry but OK. Sort of reminds me of Stone IPA. Would immediately go into the regular rotation if I could get it here. Excellent & underrated.
