3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
0.355 l bottle at Stockholm Beer Festival 2009. Orange color. The aromas of juicy hops with orange and apricot. Orange-apricot hop flavor with toffee. The bitterness is firm but could be still stronger. Pleasant easy IPA.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Slightly cloudy orangey gold, with a durable white head. Very sticky, piney aroma, with a hint of grapefruit. Piney stoney flavor - very aggressive hop bite. A little bit of caramel creeps in as it warms. Tasty...
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
This yellow beer poured with a massive off-white head and a yeasty aroma. There is a caramel malt flavor with some light hop bitterness. This seems like a pretty good session beer, but nothing special.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Appearance: Pours a clear, light orange-hued body with a lush, bubby off-white head.
Smell: Pleasantly aromatic nose of citrus and soap with a mild addition of caramel malts.
Taste: Juicy citrus flavors of lemon and tangerine. Only a faint hint of caramel as not too much maltiness shows up. There’s a medium bitterness which drops out for a pretty clean, light finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: It could use a bit more of everything, but as it stands it’s still a decent, easy drinking light IPA.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a dark copper gold win a white head and some good lady streaks as it goes down the glass. Aroma is some caramel malt presiding over some floral and citrus hops. Neither really dominates, but the hops aren’t particularly strong. Taste is much the same with a bit off sweetness balanced out some bitterness. Lift to medium body with good carbonation. Drinks pretty well, but not one of the better IPAs we picked up on our West Coast trip.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bomber thanks to Timbo. Pours a light golden color with a small white head. A sweet hop nose, caramel and light fruit. The flavor is easygoing and nice; sweet light bitter hops, fruity, biscuit, lots of malt. The bottle was about 1 yr old, so it mellowed a bit perhaps. Very nice and easy.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle. Poured a clear, light orange with a solid, dense, medium head that left decent lacing. Aroma of old resinous hops, strawberry candy, grassy hops. Taste was grassy hops, soapy hops, sticky candies. Palate was watery, soapy, sticky, fairly thin.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
From skyview, a below average ipa. Dry aroma with hops. Herbal hop flavor. Dry finish. Light gold color. Alaskan can do better.
