Alaskan Icy Bay IPA

 Alaskan Icy Bay IPA.


6.2% ABV, 65 IBU. Alaskan Brewing, Juneau, AK. 

 Clear, golden hue, lasting layer of ivory head.

In the nose: bright and lively happiness, citrus notes, faint pine.

In the mouth: slight sweetness, swallowed up by bitter. Crisp and clean, medium bodied, long bitter finish.Definitely drinkable. Citrus and pine aplenty.One of those good old fashioned IPAs. I can’t help but like it.  

Alaskan Icy Bay IPA is made from glacier-fed water and a blend of Cascade, Bravo, Calypso, Summit and Apollo hops and premium two-row pale and specialty malts.

I have recently discovered that this is the second appearance of this beer in the Bitter Nib. It appeared once before, when it was called merely Alaskan IPA. Back before they realized that you need more than one IPA.
