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.

12 oz. bottle from Albertson’s in Burien, WA. Pour is clear golden with a one inch white head and some lasting carbonation bubbles. Aroma of dirt and some resin pine hops. Not terribly pronounced. Taste is actually not that great. I had hoped for more, but this tastes pretty much like any IPA you would have at a run of the mill brew pub.

12oz bottle. Pours a bright, clear, medium tarnished copper color; mixed-bubbled white head with good retention and lacing. Basic earthy and citrus bitterness in the aroma; a touch watery. Medium mouthfeel: lots of chewy, slightly astringent earthy and citrus-laden hoppiness upfront; very light metallic note present, with a basic candy sugar malt character; strong bitterness and a touch of astringency; slightly off. Medium finish: citrus and earthy bitterness, basic core maltiness, and some floral notes.

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.

Draught at the Yardhouse, Las Vegas
Deep blond color. Light hop aroma. some caramel flavor with light sweetness, some hopping. Unoffensive.

bottle from bevmo in Tempe. A nice ipa, but nothing spectacular. Mild hop presence makes this an optimal ipa for coors drinkers.

Bottles. It’s a fizzy yellow beer with a bit of kick. Clear, too light to be honey body with a white head and OK lace. Aroma is wanting with a touch of hops, a touch of malts. Mouth is decent with medium body and a relatively dry finish. Flavor includes mild hops, a touch of sugar, and that’s about it. It’s a sad IPA, but a decent beer when I just "want a beer" without much care about what it is.
