| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 5, 2009 Rich golden amber color, well carbonated. Tangy hoppy citrus aroma. Sweet sharpe-like flavor on the tongue. Has some white bread characteristics. Not much of a hop bite, more like a pale ale. Sits mild on the palate at the end, hops should be screaming at the back of the tongue. Not bad though.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 20, 2009 Had this beer in the Anchorage airport. I don’t know about this one. I can see the direction the brewer was trying to go but the hop profile on this one is something I would love to know because while very bitter and at the appropriate level, something about the flavor of this beer was a bit harsh. A strong hit of pine that was pleasing at first but then became astringent. It’s almost as if there wasn’t enough malt to balance it all out. It left me wishing it was a more well rounded brew. I dunno good effort and wouldn’t turn it down, just don’t know if I would seek it out. TipsyMcStager (928), Calgary, Alberta, Canada

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Nov 15, 2009 0.355 l bottle at Stockholm Beer Festival 2009. Orange color. The aromas of juicy hops with orange and apricot. Orange-apricot hop flavor with toffee. The bitterness is firm but could be still stronger. Pleasant easy IPA. ansermadide (516), Kyle, Texas, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 14, 2009 Of all the Alaskan beers I’ve had, this is probably the best. Compared to their pale, you’d think it came from a different brewery. It has a more fuller body and a great aroma, a golden yellow color and nice white head. Clean, hoppy flavor and refreshingly good. jeremytoni (1110), Swedesboro, New Jersey, USA
