Solstice IPA

49th State Brewing Company
No ratings yet · tap to rate
🌍 United States · American IPA · One of 342 American IPAs in hopIQ

An ode to Alaska's 24-hour Arctic solstice — Citra-forward, aromatics of juicy grapefruit and ripe melon, bitterness dialed to the level that Alaska says is right. Untappd named it one of America's top twelve IPAs in 2021, and the brewery keeps stacking Alaska State Fair medals. Solid, sun-lit, unmistakable.

What is a American IPA?

IPAs are hop-forward ales with 5.5–7.5% ABV and IBU 40–70+. Bold hop aroma — citrus, tropical, resinous — with firm bitterness and a dry, clean finish.

Tulip glass
Recommended for this style

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.

Store in a cool, dark place. Check the best-before date on the label for guidance.
