Description
Alaska has a rich history of brewing. From the explorers of the 1700s through the Gold Rush, many a thirsty Alaskan has been able to enjoy locally made beers.

In 1986, 28-year-olds Marcy and Geoff Larson reignited that tradition when they opened the Alaskan Brewing Company, the 67th independent brewery in the country and the first brewery in Juneau since Prohibition. Alaskan beers reflect many of the same characteristics of beers that were brewed here during the gold rush era. From the historically based Alaskan Amber recipe to alder-smoked malts and Sitka spruce tips, Alaskan beers reflect Juneau’s local brewing history and innovation.

Two 355ml cans from a mixed case at Joe's place on 21st March 2026. Only one of the four Alaskan beers I didn't really enjoy. Pours a clean amber orange colour, white topping. Just a little bland and boring, should have had this first maybe, rather than last of the four different beers.

Pours a lightly hazy orange, good head of foam, good retention and lacing.

Smell is very hoppy with citrus, bitterness reminds me of dry hopping.

Taste is citrus, pine, again has that dry hopped flavour to it, bit of tropical fruit and toasted malt.

Good mouthfeel, good beer.

Drank at Mountain Hops Brewhouse.
