About This Beer

When Jean Broillet of Tired Hands ventured out to Alaska, he made a bet with Anchorage’s founder Gabe Fletcher about who could catch more fish. The loser would get pied in the face. Gabe won and has yet to claim his prize. But, he’s been lording it over Jean ever since with this sensational juicebomb.

The Alaskan lupulin legends loaded a fluffy base with thiol-boosting yeast for extra waves of succulence. And they double dry hopped it exclusively with Galaxy for bursts of nectar in each sip.

Tasting Notes

Drippy peach, luscious mandarin, and sun-kissed pineapple nuances surge through every pillowy swig. A pinch of earth and pithy grapefruit bring bitter balance on the backend.

Refreshing and easy to crush. Bright pithy dank flavors scream for a hot sunny day (too bad we have a frost warning)

Standard anchorage flavors, not exactly a fan of those standard anchorage flavors anymore. Sharp malt in there

Someone said they can "taste the pie flavor" 😂 come on yall, this isn't a flavored desert beer and there is no pie flavor

Odd play between malt and Galaxy hops does give lemon pie-like effect. Pretty atypical for Galaxy hops.

Unlike most of my other tasting notes, I don’t have much to say about this one accept that it’s fantastic! The aromas and flavors go to get her like a hand and a glove. You get the beautiful creamy passion fruit and orange flavor from those galaxy hops and it is consistent throughout the whole experience. Would definitely recommend!

Yeah pretty solid.

Quite light, refreshing, Hints of lemon, and sea breeze. I can see how this would pair nicely with a heavy dessert like a cake or a pie. It ends rather bitter, like black licorice tree bark.

Notes of grapefruit, lemon, and pine in aroma. Low bitterness up front with light citrus on the back end.

Delicious tropical flavors really carried this one. Still tastes like an IPA but the pineapple and other tropical flavors really burst through this brew in every sip. It was delicious!

Light grassy nose with a subtle hint of sweetness. Flavor reflects the nose, but with more distinctive but still light, citrus and peach sweetness. Really light drink overall, thin mouthfeel.

Definitely gives off that lemon pie flavor, but not too much. I love tired hands and Anchorage so this was a must for my crate

All the flavors you would expect from glaxy hops! Solid beer. No there is no pie flavor.

CaseyFrid

Delicious tropical fruit hop flavor that becomes dank and resinous into the finish. I haven’t had an IPA like it. Familiar, but different.

A really good first sampling from Anchorage. Can’t wait to try more from them. Not too juicy, not too hoppy.

Nose of orange & wildflowers. Pours hazy golden w/minimal head. Clean, crisp mouthfeel. Big grapefruit notes on the palate. Secondary flavors of tangerine, juniper. Low to moderate bitterness at finish. It’s a refreshing, hoppy, grapefruity treat.

What a strange beer. I like it, but it’s weird. There is this airy “fluff” for lack of a better term that hits the center of the tongue up front, but finishes like a regular NEIPA, but concentrated on the outside of the tongue. Definitely a unique one, with a cool back story to boot.

light hoppy flavor. Not bad for an IPA.

Didn’t get the pie taste, but you do get all that fantastic citrus felt like I was drinking juice with a kick.
