Alaskan Hopothermia DIPA

This 8.5% ABV and 70 IBU Double India Pale Ale is from the Alaskan Brewing Company of Juneau, Alaska.

The beer pours a dark amber and copper in color, gleaming and gem-like. There is over a half-inch of light tan head. The aroma is fruit, orange and pine, with ample toasted caramel. The taste follows the aromas, a big, malty, piney IPA. The finish is dry and quite bitter. The beer drinks very smooth, with tingling carbonation.
