| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 15, 2009 12oz - Aroma is funky grapefruit and mango hops with just enough malt to keep it honest. Flavor matches. Palate is creamy and tart. A nice fruity IPA. vacantskies (86), Spokane, Washington, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 13, 2009 A pleasant IPA. It has the appearance of a lager. The flavor is both sweet and hoppy. Kinz (2215), Glen Allen, Virginia, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 12, 2009 Light orange, slight head. Slight citric aroma. Flavor is very light caramel malt, some grapefruit hops, and a massive, almost aspirin level, hop bitterness. Bitterness detracts from what would have been a decent brew. dkachur (2421), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA

Pours a clear bronze color with a medium head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma is caramel and toffee with floral and citrus hop notes. Very, VERY bitter hop taste with minty, citrus and resiny hop notes and some leafiness and as well as a fairly strong toffee malt backbone. Medium bodied. poisoneddwarf (216), Rathdrum, Idaho, USA

I noticed the difference between the two in the balance between malt and hops. I love my IPAs hoppy, not malty. Alaskan’s version is much more hoppy with little malt presence. Laughing Dog is much more malty. As a hop lover, it gets a lower score in my book. Still a great beer and as an Idahoan, I’m proud to say this was brewed practically in my backyard. brenn79 (211), Idaho, USA
