The Juicy Pounder
Anchorage Brewing Company

16 oz can from Tavour. Pale yellow, milky body, bubbly head quickly fades. Gentle citrus aroma, orange juice. Taste brings more juicy notes, citrus peel, light bitterness. Easy drinker

 

I'm just on an Anchorage Brewing kick. This is their Juicy Pounder, which is a very light IPA that you can drink all day. When you crack the can it's scent is memorizingly fruity right off the bat. It looks like it has the body of a light beer honestly, which threw me off a bit. The taste though is so pleasant and light, very fruity like a papaya. It's got those classic hop notes like an IPA should have but without the high IBUs you'd expect from one. Crushable, and will drink again.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hazy, pale yellow body; lively carbonation yet a relatively thin and frothy head. Strong scent of lime and white grapefruit; very faint light cereal grain note. Tart and citric flavor; lemony; a bit peppery; bitter. Medium body; a bit prickly on the palate; some juiciness but relatively dry throughout.

The flavors and aromas of this beer are incredible, considering the beer is only 4.0% ABV (per the can and not the current 4.5% listed on BA). A minor ding on the relatively thin and soapy head, but otherwise, this one is quite crushable and makes for a fine light-duty beer.

 

 

 

This beer is the lowest ABV offering I’ve had from Anchorage, IPA or other. The aromas coaxed our of the Mosaic hops is unholy. This beer smells like a bottled fruit punch with emphasis on ruby red grapefruit juice, mango, passionfruit and sweet strawberry. The fruity side of mosaic with a hint of the green onion side.

Poured from a 16oz can into a Trillium pint glass.

Look is a hazy yellow with a thin white head.

Aroma is dried lemon peel.

Taste is a thin dry herbal lemon.

Excellent drinker for a low ABV IPA.

 

Refreshing. Hoppy and fruity. Good summer drink.
