Oct 21, 2008 Draught. High creamy and lasting white head. Clear yellow body. Dry fruity lemon grapefruit aroma and flavor. High carbonation and a long bitter aftertaste.

Sep 26, 2008 Lovely clear golden orange color with a fluffy white head. Smell is very sweet with apples and cherries. Flavor is weird. It’s predominantly hops, with a musty herbal taste that doesn’t need to be here. It overpowers any fruit flavor, and I was expecting a BIG fruit flavor. Oh, well.

Mar 27, 2007 Updated: Mar 28, 2007Bottle purchased at Belmont Station. Alaskan IPA accomplishes what it sets out to do by providing hopheads with a good clean IPA that doesn’t wreck you and/or your palate after one pint.
Pleasant floral and citrus nose precedes a fairly dry, well-defined quaff. A simple malt profile acts as a carrier for the siganture pine and citrus hop notes people come to expect from a NW IPA.
All in all it makes for a good "session IPA" that you could drink 3 or 4 of without scraping the enamel off your teeth.

Mar 21, 2008 Great label art. Pours slightly amber with an off-white 3/4 inch head. Plenty of lacing.
Big hop and piney-citrus aroma.
Flavor is crisp, resinous citrus hops, sweet malt with excellent balance. Website lists IBU as 55 which is more than enough for my tastes.
Palate is average.
Overall a fine IPA, maybe a bit mild compared to some of the hop-bombs being brewed nowadays but I enjoyed this very much. Very clean, dry-bitter finish. Well recommended.

Jul 5, 2009 Bomber thanks to Wavers1....Big nose of malt and grapefruit, color is a dirty cloudy orange with a nice head. Taste however is not blow your hair back amazing, but still pretty palatable. Some floral hop notes, some malt, modest carbonation.Malt is stronger than the fruit, Im thinking this could be a bit more balanced. Finish has a light bitter, and has a somewhat tart and dry finish. Not bad....this should rate higher, but I may have a good bottle too.....never know.

May 18, 2009 Bomber - great nose, crisp pine with some citrus (lemon?) - tastes as it smells, but a bit more subdued and a little watery. Solid IPA, nothing special, but I felt like having another immediately, so bonus points for that and the price.

Oct 14, 2009 A sturdy, dependable IPA. Nothing special, but it’s a good ace in the hole.

Jul 9, 2007 On tap at Humpy’s in Anchorage. Pours a translucent golden copper with a medium bubbly white head that left some lacing. Aroma of some fresh hops with citrus, some banana, flavor and some caramel malt. Flavor of citrus, floral and some more of that banana/clove. Did they use some hefe yeast in this IPA? Also got some cereal grains, a decent hop bitterness followed by a nice malty graininess.
