Alaskan IPA

I had one of these the other night. I like the Northwest IPA style. It is a more fruity and citrus flavor than the floral, bitter tongue twister of the San Diego (West Coast) IPA style. I am not saying I like it better, but it is a good change of pace. I have had the Alaska's Alt-style Amber Ale and thought it unremarkable. The Alaskan IPA is another story, and was a pleasant surprise. It's a compelling beer, similar to Bridgeport's IPA, with a strong floral and citrus flavor that matches the hop bitterness. It is hard to drink only one of these beers.
