Alaskan IPA

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

Serve in Shaker, Tulip

Pours clear amber with an orange colored hue exhibiting a off-white head that diminished quickly. Nice hoppy aroma, floral and citrus with undertones of toasty malts and fresh summer fruit. A nice hop blast that seems to recede quickly to a mild toasty malt flavor as continued to consume. The hops have floral and citrus aspects with some spiciness. The malts remain lightly toasty with periodic glimpses of toffee. Seemed to exhibit characteristics similar to an American Pale Ale rather than an IPA. Not my favorite IPA but definiitely different and interesting.

12oz bottle via trade with cbkschubert! - Thanks Craig! - Pours amber with a tall offwhite head that stays pretty well. Aroma of grapefruit and orange with some caramel beneath. Flavor is a nice balance of orange and caramel. Pretty good even balanced IPA. I found it pretty tasty..

A decent, but not exceptional IPA. Pours with an eggshell head and nice bronzy color. Aroma was fresh with citrus, dried apricot and soap. Flavor was dominated by the hops with citrus and soap. Aftertaste was saopy.Decent finish, but a bit light in the palate compared to the best IPAs. Felt more like an American Pale Ale than an IPA. But it sure was good. Thanks to my brother, Nathan, for bringing this from Alaska to Panama.

complex and therefore demonstrative since it is hoppy enough and a bit more sweet than usual. pine cone flavor i am rather fond of combined with golden color and orange like citrus. caramel like malt profile balances this some with a dry finish. decent.

Bottle. Pours a nice red golden color. The head forms a nice foamy white head the faded down with a thin lacing of the glass. Aroma is mostly floral hops with fruity citrus. Good carbonation and a nice bitter taste.

22oz bomber, stamped A092008--something about September 20th? Hopefully not the best by date. Purchased @ Bottle Barn. Aroma has pine and pine air fresheners, light perfume, and some watered-down caramel malts. Clear golden with a one finger off-white head, fading to a think film and thick ring. Flavor leans more malty, though not watered-down this time. There is still the soft pine notes, and floral perfume does come across a bit in the finish, which is semi-dry. Bitterness peaks at a 3-4. Moderate carbonation with a medium body. A good IPA. Not a West Coast hop bomb, but good.

Bottle. Pours hazy golden in colour with a medium sized off-white head. Somewhat malty with notes of pines, flowers, citrus and a hint of caramel.

Pours a clear gold/orange with a slight off-white head. Hops, caramel malt, citrus, and pine. Pretty standard stuff, but still not bad. Nothing to look for, but I’d still drink it.
