Pours clear, amber in color with 1/4 inch head. Taste is grapefruit and pine. Dry, resinous, and bitter. Prefer some of 49th State's other hoppy beers, but this is solid.

This one is absolutely delicious! One of the most fruity, tropical IPA's I've ever had, especially on the taste. The score for the look is low because there was hardly any head whatsoever. Other than that, this IPA is fantastic!

Filled a growler of this stuff at the Brown Jug Warehouse.
Pours a light golden color with a cotton white head that leaves it's mark as it descends down the glass.
Smells awesome! White grape juice. Tropical fruit. Sweet.
Tastes so good reminiscent of fruit snacks! I'm getting some kind of berry, pineapple, mango, and a light bitterness that reminds you it is in the IPA family.
Feels lightly carbonated, crisp and smooth.
I am very impressed by 49th State Brewing. Everything I have had from them is STELLAR. In my opinion, this is the best DIPA from Alaska. I'm talking Stone level brewing here. I liked it more than the last Enjoy By we got up here. These guys have the potential to blow up!
