Brewed in the bold spirit of Alaska, Sockeye Red IPA is a finely crafted Pacific Northwest-style India Pale Ale with a real bite. Ample pale two-row malt creates a fresh, firm body while specialty malts impart a spawning red hue. The predominant character of this fiesty catch comes from outlandish portions of Centennial, Cascade and Simcoe hops, giving this beer tremendous citrus and floral aroma and flavor.

Determined and bitter but amazingly balanced, Sockeye Red IPA is gnarly enough to take you hook, line and sinker. Forget about a bigger rig; grab a bigger glass.

I'm not sure I taste the 70 IBU because it tastes a bit weak. I'm thrilled I have Alaska, but wish it had more pop.

Had this one three times on the trip through AK. At the Alaska Hotel in Juneau, it was bland and buttery. At the brewery, mostly just bland. Our Air B&B landlord left us a bottle in the fridge, and that one showed more life than the others, with a brighter hop note in particular, though it was a bit too yeasty even then.
