Found this brew at the Firetap Alehouse-South Anchorage. It was pale golden and cloudy, great lacing of the head. It was priced $6.50/pint compared t $6 for the other AK crafts. The aroma was to die for - floral, citric, very hop-forward, makes me suspect dry hopping.

Taste was also outstanding. We had sampled Moose's Tooth IPA the day before, it was excellent, but this was a whole level better. Big doses of hop flowers, hint of lemon, some mysterious sweetness, malt light and fresh bread. This stuff is hophead dreamland. Mouthfeel was substantial but light on the palate, alcohol warmth well under control. Good complexity to the taste.

Overall highly drinkable, wish I could have had 2 more. Recommended.

Serving type: on-tap
