“Saturated citrus, warm but hides the 10.6 well. Worth the hunt.” — a reader · 94
This is the 3rd of 19 labels we have from Anchorage Brewing Company. It is one of 183 double / imperial ipa labels approved in July 2026. Its label was approved 3 days after it was submitted. The label names 5 hops — Citra, Citra, Strata, Riwaka and Krush, and carries ddh, dry-hopped on the front.
Where this comes from
Read from the label art by Hop Grail. Fields checked against the approved label. How we get this data
A stylized skull rendered in red and black ink dominates the upper centre of the label, with a white vertical band running through the face and two curved red horns or bands sweeping across the top. The skull's eyes are marked with white X symbols, and the lower jaw shows detailed tooth work. The beer name appears in large, sans-serif capitals down the left edge in white type on black. Regulatory and brewery information occupy the lower portion and right edge. The label is printed on a solid black ground.
From the label“Brewed in collaboration with Brujos Brewing. Brewed with Citra Hops. DDH with Citra Hops, Strata Hops, Riwaka Hops, and Krush Hops.”

The label names its hops — Citra, Citra, Strata… — which is enough for a real starting point.
