Dec 8, 2006 I liked this but I could be biased as I would love to go to AK. Pours with a big substantial white head on a amber color beer. Strong hop aroma. A powerful taste, good bite, overall a good example.

Nov 17, 2006 This is simply one of the best beers produced in the state of Alaska. Alaska produces some extremely delicious beers, so that is no small compliment.

Nov 4, 2006 Bottle. Dated first week of June. Pours a clear dark garnet color with an off-white head. Malty aroma with a minty, eucalyptus type note to it. The flavor is a train wreck of flavors competing against each other for attention on my palate. It’s primarily malt forward with a metallic "sucking on pennies" flavor. There’s caramel, grapes, coffee, dust, fruit and tobacco but there just isn’t any balance to it. Maybe it’s too old or too young. This is the first disappointing beer I’ve ever had from midnight sun.

Oct 29, 2006 22 oz. bomber. Pours a deep dark red with a big foamy head. Aroma of grassy hops. Flavor was piney hops and bitterness balanced with malts to produce a delicious full flavored beer. Smooth, but with a nice bitter hop finish.

Oct 23, 2006 Thanks to MOM for bringing this back from Alaska! Nothing like mom hitting up the brewery’s for her kid on a trip!!
Pours a nice dark ruby with good sized white head. Aroma of grapefruit, pine, hops, bread. Taste is piney with a real big bitter bite at the end. I love bitter beers, but this one wasn’t quite my style of bitter.

Oct 22, 2006 Bottle. Foggy dark copper body with a creamy large white head. Great aroma - orange resin, very hoppy, rye bread, and piney bitterness. Flavour leaves a bit to be desired in terms of complexity though . Big and chewy and kind of grows on you after a while. Abrasive bitterness towards the finish.

Sep 28, 2006 22 oz. bottle - Thanks to my mother-in-law for bringing this back from Alaska - Pour a deep amber color with a good size, long lasting, off white head which left lots of lacing as it settled. Lots of carbonation. Has a strong citrus (grapefruit) aroma. Nice. Has a citrus hop and light caramel malt flavor. Medium body. No unpleasant bitter aftertaste. Very nice beer.
