It was somehow malty and bitter at the same time. It was great though. And VERY strong.

Full Sail IPA was my go-to beer for a long time. I wish I had bought some last night instead of the Newcastle. Microbrewery beers are huge in Alaska and for a long while there everyone was in love with Alaskan Amber, which I thought was horribly, disgustingly sweet. I liked Full Sail Amber instead and that's what go me started on the Full Sail kick.
