Alaskan IPA

Brewed by Alaskan Brewing Co
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Juneau, Alaska USA

Serve in Shaker, Tulip

12oz bottle. Pours golden, white head. Hop aroma, hop bitterness, too full in the body and sweet for the style.

This is a nice refreshing crisp beer that really hits the spot after a good workout. Light on the hops though and would be a dissapointment to the hopheads.

sweet piney and citrus/ peach aroma, light golden appearance taste is similiar to a light lager, slight hoppiness

Sampled at Denver Winter Brewfest 2011. Clear transparent gold, unimpressive appearance. Smells very balanced with plenty of caramel malt and leafy green hops. Taste is not excessively hoppy, but is pretty bitter. A bit of citrus and pine. The finish is very grainy, like an amber or something. Not a great IPA, just kinda middle-of-the-road.

Not bad for an IPA, but does not meet expectations for other Alaskans. Will sample others before we go back for this one.

On draft. Darkish gold color with a hazy center. Plenty of hops in the aroma with a touch of sweet malt. Bitter, hoppy flavor with a medium mouth feel. Better then most typical IPA’s.
