Inspired by brewers’ experimentation with a SMaSH Mosaic brew (SMaSH stands for Single Malt and Single Hop brew), Husky IPA seeks to take the Mosaic hop’s best characteristics to the finish line, providing for a juicy IPA with tropical and stone fruit flavors and a bright aroma of tangerine and papaya. “Our experimentation with a single malt and single hop brew with Mosaic really led to the formulation of this recipe,” said Brewer Greg Morgan. “We’re taking two great ingredients and attempting to get the best characteristics out of them, creating a really tasty beer that in this case accentuates the Mosaic hops.” https://alaskanbeer.com/2017/01/12/alaskan-brewing-releases-husky-ipa-for-spring/ If you take the time it takes, it takes less time. --Pat Parelli American by birth; Alaskan by choice. --ironbender

There was an IPA thread in the main forum not too long ago. Many posters commented about the seeming competition between brewers to go over the top in hopping their IPAs. This brew, while hopped, is different in that it is more aromatic and not as bitter as many IPAs. That's the extent of my descriptive powers of the flavor. It's just good!

Very perceptive on the aroma. I agree on the bitter bombs. That's a Calif/west coast trend of blasting the beer with hops early in the boil to get as much bittering as possible. With the newer fruity hops like Mosaic the New England style is to add massive amounts late in the boil or dry hop after fermentation so less bittering and more flavor and aroma. The regional designations are not accurate now but just a description. I brew my own beer and definitely prefer NE style.

Hopothermia is my favorite, but the ABV is up there, so I kinda gotta watch it if out in the shop working on projects! My pet garage beer is their new Kicker IPA. Nice and hoppy, but a low ABV, and a little more "power tool friendly" if you catch my drift. Guinness is another great shop brew. Light on the alcohol but big on flavor. Jeff

Seems like we live in the best of times in regards to craft breweries, so long as they don't get carried away and add fruit. One of these days I either need to head North or you need to head South so we can share a barley pop or two. If you like the porters and stouts, and you ever find yourself in Haines, try out Haines Brewing Black Fang. Their spruce tip ale is really incredible as well. Jeff

A little bird informed me that AK brewing is done within sight of LCCC - Lemon Creek Correctional Ctr. Jailhouse brew? Just re-looked at the PM. It said: Quote "Brewed within sight of Alaska's most ruthless felons" If you take the time it takes, it takes less time. --Pat Parelli American by birth; Alaskan by choice. --ironbender

Anyway, there is a nice sandy beach and a small stream enters there. Saw a guy laying his salmon IN the sand while filleting them... then rinsing them in the little creek identified by a sign as the fallout from Spring Creek CC... Just thought I might put a couple of you off your feed... some may like it... Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.
