Bottle. Poured a pale gold with medium off white head. Mellow ipa with all the ingredients were they should be. Good drinker.

bottle. Poured golden with a medium off-white head. Sweet hoppy aroma. Full body and crisp mouthfeel. Lot’s of bitter hops. Grapefruit citrus and a little bready with an earthy pine note. Sticky bitter finish.

My first Alaskan beer I drank on the ferry out of Washington some time ago. Nothing too special about this one. Very plain malt flavor with an average hop aroma and flavor. Pretty good session beer.

On tap at The Hangar by the Wharf in Juneau. Bright yellow body, thin head. Clean lemony citrus hops; light-medium bitterness. Serviceable IPA.

Bomber. Appearance was nice with a white head and lots of bubbles. Mild aroma of pine and hops. Flavor was fruity with pine and hops. Body was lacking a little. Light? Possibly. Drinkable yes. Just lacking something.

Pours orange with white head. Strong hop and fruit aroma. Light bitter and medium sweet. Medium body.

Pale golden pour with a thin white head. The nose is softly piny with a little bit of light citrus and some soft malt. A kiss of light sweetness. Fairly clean though. More pale ale at this point as the bittering seems quite light to me. Light with a kiss of herbal flavour as well. It’s okay, but a bit boring.

Bottled (thanks Kalevi Kurronen!). Goldeny orange colour with a mediumsized white creamy head which leaves some slight lace. Aroma is fruity and floral hops along with ome sap, caramel malts as well as quite grassy and bready notes. Flavour is quite much the same along with some mild herbal notes. Quite fruity and floral hoppy finish. Nothing mindblowing, but a pleasantly balanced mellow IPA.
