Commercial Description:
Alaskan IPA is honey gold in color with a fruity, citrus aroma. An enticing blend of hops and our dry hopping process, in which hops are added directly to tanks during fermentation, give this brew a very intense, complex aromatic character with a refreshing hop finish.

Pale golden with a small white head. Jammy, peachy aroma, undertones of oranges and caramel. Medium body and a light hoppy mouthful... feels like a pretty light interpretation of an IPA. Bitterness is pretty restrained right through. Nice pleasant fruity flavours, amarillo perhaps, zesty fresh finish... very nice to drink.

It looks all right with a nice white bubbly head, but it looks pale enough to make me uncomfortable when I consider this to be an IPA. It smells a little citrusy and then a little vomity. The taste just about matches that too. It’s quite unappealing, and that bottle just made me want to drink it so bad. Maybe it’s just failed expectations here?

Bottle. The body was dark gold with an off white colored head. The aroma was strong grapefruit with some peanuts and apples. The taste was grapefruit with some spice. A light piney finish. A nice overall IPA that I would buy a lot more if I could get locally.

Bottle. Very nice pungent fruity aroma. Color is a little dull and golden for an IPA. Flavor is there, its just very dull. Kind of bland. Wish there was more of it.

Bottle (22oz). Pours a clear yellow-orange with an average size diminishing foamy white head. Very mild aroma of resiny hops and sweet malt -- not much else really, it’s a little dull. Flavour, also mild, of resiny hops and some fruit. Average bitter finish. Average to medium bodied. It’s alright but it is a bit dull, simple and overly mild. Maybe it’s unfair to compare but there’s so many great American IPAs out there to compare it against and this one just doesn’t cut it for me.
