A Note on This Beer

I NEVER understood why bad guys on TV had to have a self-destruct button somewhere in their evil lair. To me, it sounds like a major architectural flaw, and a serious OSHA violation! 

Luckily, I’m a tad smarter than the average TV bad guy. You won’t see any mischievous buttons in my house — just Anchorage’s brand-new Self Destruct IPA!

The brewers crafted this succulent juicebomb with dank Simcoe Hops in the boil. Then, they dry-hopped it a whopping 4 times with more Simcoe, Citra, Strata, Mosaic, and New Zealand Cascade for an explosion of kushy citrus flavor!

A punch of cantaloupe rises up on the first sip, followed by tangy orange juice and bright tangerines. Then come refreshing waves of mango that linger on the palate, tempting the drinker back in for more. 

Be careful though; it’s not as dangerous as the knobs in an evildoer’s hideout, but that deftly masked 8.4% ABV can still do some damage!

Still, it’s your lair and your life. Maybe just don’t draw up any blueprints while indulging in Self Destruct, in case you find yourself getting a “bright” idea about buttons.

*Anchorage is one of Thrillist’s Best Breweries in the Country!

Great balance of fruit with a little bitter ending. Very enjoyable and easy to drink. Hides the ABV very well. Good stuff from Alaska!

Excellent as always from Anchorage. Citrus and melon aromas with some nice dankness that works really well with the tropical and grapefruit juiciness.

Nice ripe melon on the nose from the 4X dry hopping. It has a nice soft mouthfeel. It explodes on the finish with a big citrus bite!

This is one of the best DIPAs I have had in a while. Cool cause its from Alaska, so I grabbed it.Sweeter and creamy like a Chicago style DIPA. Strong pineapple flavor and very clean. May seek out more from Anchorage

For someone who is not a fan of DIPAs, this was AMAZING!! Smoothest DIPA I have ever drank. The hops are still there but don't kick you in the face with their punch. Slight citrus in the end. Another fantastic beer from Anchorage Brewing Company.

A dank, hoppy aroma. Pillowy mouthfeel, pineapple and juicy melon in the flavor. Has a bit more hoppyness to it than most of this style, but is just in the background. I’m a fan of the simcoe, Citra, mosaic, strata combo

Aromas of melon rind, cucumber and orange. Taste is akin to a mimosa with a shot of tequila. Effervescent, orangey and dank. Dry finish with bit of citrus pith.
