On tap at King St, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out herbal notes, light grass and straw. Flavour is crisp, with herbaceous, grassy hops, light straw and biscuity malt. Lightly sweet and malty finish. It's fine.

Fraught at F Street Station: pours hazy with white head. Aroma is banana and clove and wheat. Hits the spot.

Can at Darwin's: pours golden with white head. Aroma is grassy and lemon. Taste is lightly bitter, grainy. Fine.

Can at Darwin's: pours copper with a white head. Aroma is caramel, pine. Taste is sweet, bitterish. Malty.

Very clear, but deep copper, bronzed and even light brown coloured body with a thinnish, two centimetre tall tan head that's fairly large bubbled and dies very quickly, all above the very clear, barely hazy deep coppered glow. Aroma of pineapple, grass, pine, resin, flowers and a syrupy, very potent sweetness that's right behind the deep hops, but the malts here seem thin. Medium-bodied; Deep, very syrupy and resinous flavours of the hops shine up front, with a pretty big bitterness from the alpha acids with a slight bite of earthy and fairly nutty malt notes that provide a light hit and balance with a good deal of sweetness at the end. Aftertaste shows the resin, pineapple, pine, syrup and deep nutty notes that mainly show the bitter hops, but fairly robust, pretty balanced and all end nicely with the sugars from the syrup and caramel finishing things off well. Overall, a very nice, older school Imperial IPA that has a great bitterness, but better range and balance of hop bitterness and sweetness! Great to sample as it starts getting cooler here on the East Coast (nowhere close to Alaska temperatures, of course), but nice to have this fresh - well recommended, if you can find it! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from La Bodega in Anchorage, Alaska on 05-October-2021 for US$4,35 sampled at my house here in Washington on the other end of our fine country on 29-November-2021.

Ridiculously hazy, chunky, deep copper, brown and super bronze coloured body, all with a ~2 centimetre tall tan head atop the 95 per cent opaque crazy copper and muddied glow. Aroma of dry grass, light citrus fruit, cleanser, hay, flowers a nd a touch of resin. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong grassy and herbal flavours show at first with a noticeable alpha acid bitterness with a grapefruit and blood orange citrus note and associated bitterness, with a little dose of bread and yeast towards the end! Aftertaste shows some hay and slight herbal elements with a very dry pungency and some complex flavours with a fresh hop profile and a good deal of alpha acid bitterness, but also good newer school fruitiness that combines well. Overall, a very nice, light, dry but still complex beer that is a nice blend of IPA styles (including the dryness of a Belgian IPA), but brewed in the fabulous state of Alaska! Great to have super fresh on the opposite side of the country - worth trying to find it if you think you might be able to grab it! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from La Bodega in Anchorage, Alaska on 05-October-2021 for US$3,05 sampled just eleven days later at my house here in Washington on 16-October-2021, my oldest daughter's 9th birthday - Happy Birthday Claire!!!

16 oz draft at Denali Bluffs Resort. All the correct components. Banana, bubblegum, and soft clove. Near medium in body with a chewy texture. Exactly as it should be.
