This is new to the Valley, so I grabbed a single bottle last week at Total Wine & More. Not a big fan of Alaskan beers, but this one was great. It had a REALLY hoppy aroma, and a nice smooth hop flavor. This is a very well balanced beer. Nice lasting finish, too. Well done, Alaskan!

A very tasty and appealing American Pale Ale from Alaskan Brewing Company. I would happily have another.

Pours lightly cloudy honey color with a well retained off white colored head. Aroma is nice citrus hoppy aroma with some light spiciness and a bit of biscuit. Taste is enjoyable being mostly bitter, spicy and just a tiny bit of sweetnees. An enjoyable American Pale.

Poured from a 12oz bottle into a tulip. Pours orangeish gold with a medium / thin off white head. Smells like grapefruit, slightly hoppy, kind of astringent. Tastes citrusy, piney hops, a little more astringency. Light body, bitterness doesn’t linger very long. Overall it’s slightly better than most typical grocery store micro brews. Not a bad option for someone who wants Zombie Dust on a budget.

Hazy golden, citrusy and tropical aroma. Flavor is citrus and hop forward with a well defined toasty malt backbone. Light body, lends a slight watery feel. Very easy very drinkable. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Hazy gold, white lacing. Mild, fresh hop nose. Medium-bodied palate is fresh and easy- drinking with a mild, citrus bop flavor. Very nice.

Poured up a interesting light amber almost orange with a strong hop aroma. The taste though kind of took the initial desires away. Has a very destinct taste of grapefruit almost to the point that I was thinking I was drinking straight grapefruit juice. It’s not bad but it is not great either.

Poured a finger of head on a hazy, medium straw colored body. Great aroma. Bright grapefruit with a touch of pine. The taste is wonderful. Moderate grapefruit bitterness with a bit of honey sweetness in the middle, finishes with moderate pine bitterness. The texture is soft with just the right amount of fizz. Superb.

Bottle. Pours a copper color with white head. Citrus, grapefruit, fresh rainforest vegetation aromas. Fresh hoppy, citrus, grapefruit flavors. Tastes like drinking a beer in rainforest.

crisp amber pour with an off white head. nose is bitter, grapefruit, citrus, and light florals. very smooth on the palate, heavy bitterness up front, backed with light malts, citrus, very well carbonated.
