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.

A golden beer with small head. Aroma of piney hops. Taste is very smooth with not a lot of complexity to it, but would make a very good starter IPA to someone not acclimated to the style.

This is just a pretty good beer. Nothing fancy going on here: just some mild hoppiness, crisp nose and mouthfeel, and easy drinking. One of my favorite session beers.

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 is from the rough draft series. I have had this beer at the brewery and at the Hanger in Juneau. It showed slight differences in the two kegs. The beer is made well and tasty. It is a very low hopped IPA with some citrus up front and spicyness in the finish. I would have it again and again. If you want a BIG IPA this is not it, but this may gain some transition drinkers to bigger beers. It will be interesting to taste in bottle and watch quality control.

(Bottle) Pours a clear yellow body with a small off-white head. Aroma of citrus, bread, and spruce. Flavor of citrus and floral hops. Below average amongst IPAs.
