Alaskan Experimental Hop 586 Double India Pale Ale.
7.5 % ABV. Alaskan Brewing, Juneau, AK.
Lightly hazed, bright amber/copper color, large and long lasting ivory head, puffy and cloud-like.
In the nose: Big citrus. Bold flavors. High happiness. Orange, grapefruit, tangerine. A pinch of sweetness.
In the mouth: More bright and sunny hop flavors boarding the palate. Just a little juicy, then turning dry. Medium bodied, with a long, hoppy finish. Alcohol rush is coming in, and blending well with the melange of hoppy flavors.
I'll admit that I only bought it because it was merely $9.99 for the 4-pack. And I can usually trust Alaskan. They are truly underrated. Also, I knew it wouldn't be a crazy hazy, just a good ol' DIPA, the kind I like, experimental hop or not.
A tropical, juicy IPA featuring the experimental hop 586 from Yakima Valley's Baarth Haas. This bold IPA is an approachable choice for the IPA amateur and a favorite of the veteran with a pronounced balanced flavor and soft mouthfeel.
