6.9/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7.5
On tap at Matanuska - Anchorage, pours a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma brings out light piney hops, a touch of resins, and bready malt. Flavour is fairly hoppy, with plenty of resinous hops, sticky bready caramel, and bitter pine. Finishes resinous and malty in good balance. Very solid.

Slightly hazy golden and fairly ghostly white coloured body with a pretty thick three centimetre tall off-white, microfoamed head that stays afloat nicely above the hazy body. Aroma of coriander seed, light curacao, some small corn and a touch of hay and grasses - all very mild, with nothing large of pungent in the nose and only a dash of spices really noticeable. Light-bodied; Very mild, almost creamy flavour at first with some corn and curacao with a light hit of sugars from oranges, with a slightly dry finish and a very small touch of bread and cream. Aftertaste is very mellow with the coriander seed freshness and some very dry corn and wheatie notes with a finish of light spices that make this very easy-drinking with still some nice flavours throughout. Overall, a nice wit with a smooth, very subdued profile that works well in the head in Washington in summertime, but also could do well up North in Fairbanks in the middle of summer as well, but this is great to try very fresh (less than a month after purchase!) all the way down here in Washington on the other end of our fine country, purchased of course up in the Last Frontier. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Silver Gulch (in ANC Airport) Brewpub in Anchorage, Alaska on 05-October-2021 for US$12,95/six pack, sampled at my house here in Washington on 01-November-2021.

4 oz. Draft at Palmer location. It is indeed served ice cold. It a many minutes to get light honey, grain, with a super light clean finish. Super light brew for the common beer drinker.

4 oz draft, Palmer location. Decent flavor of chocolate, coffee, and roast. For a nitro stout was hoping for a bit more body.

4 oz draft. Aroma is a lot of blueberry purée. The color even has a lightly pink hue. Plenty of blueberry flavor and a light Blonde ale body. Shows a lightly sweet finish.

7.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8
Very hazy deep copper and bronze coloured body with a quite large, four centimetre tall tan head that's very large bubbled, but fades slowly. Aroma of citrus fruits, cleanser, slight astringent metals, a dash of grass and hay as well as some sweetness from caster sugar and even some honey. Medium-bodied; Fairly rich malts show at first with some mild wheats as well as some papaya, melon and mango notes that seem to add to the body and still bring out some enjoyable sweetness wtih a soft dry finish and no real hop bitterness at all - this is purely a 'new school' IPA. Aftertaste is fairly clean and easy-drinking with more grassy, dry and herbal elements than anything bitter, but a good fruit bite from the hops, some mild sugars and somehow this is a good thing - no real alcohol warmth or bite at all - this goes down super smoothly! Overall, a very nice Imperial (on the edge, but I'll give it to this one!) IPA that has great flavours, is super 'new school' with no bitterness, but a lot of fruits, a nice balance and smooth and very easy-drinking. Great to sample fresh from Alaska, but on the other side of the country! Sample if you can get it and want it to go down real smoothly! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Brown Jug in Fairbanks, Alaska on 24-June-2021 for US$3,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 17-August-2021.

Beautiful blue, violet and copper-tinted body with a nice, violet and blue head, only a centimetre or so tall, but looks very nice on top. Aroma of blueberries, light icing sugar, some soft malts, a dash of flowers and the smallest dose of alcohol, yeast and bread you could imagine. Light-bodied; Very sweet blueberry flavour at first with a lot of fruits noticeable along with a softer malt backbone and a dash of icing sugar, with a good malt backbone that is still easy-drinking, but provides a nice balance to the fruits and sweetness. Aftertaste shows the soft sugars, a lot of fresh blueberries, some lighter wheat and malt notes, but a crisp and slightly tart, soured quality that works well, especially with how light this is. Overall, this was very surprising on how good this was, especially in the [relative] summer heat here in Alaska - this was a welcome diversion and something that I would have again, especially in the heat! Great to sample, especially on a nice occasion! I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Brown Jug in Fairbanks, Alaska on 24-June-2021 for US$2,19 sampled on the top of the Harding Icefield Trail at Kenai Fjords National Park with my daughter in celebration of my birthday on 30-June-2021.
