3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 Elwood (1834) - Between a rock and a hard place, Virginia, USA - OCT 26, 2010
Serving: 12 oz. bottle.
Aroma: The nose is malty with a slight toasted note and some caramel.
Appearance: It pours a nice amber color with a frothy, off-white head. There is decent head retention.
Taste: The flavor favors the malt with some bread and caramel. It’s leans to the sweet side, but there is enough grassy hops to provide some balance.
Palate: Medium bodied with average carbonation and a short to medium, slightly sweet finish.
Overall: Not a bad session brew and a pretty decent amber. Definitely worth drinking.

UPDATED: DEC 8, 2011 Mild maltyness. Smells like a light vienna lager. Appearance is a clear copper color. Off white small head, big bubbles. Taste is malt forward. Mild caramel and maybe a hint of roast/chocolate. Almost sweet. Some smooth bitterness present but fairly mild. Palate is light+. Crisp and refreshing. I really enjoy this one as a drinker. Great style that is hard to find.

22 oz bottle. Amber in color with a thick puffy head. Aroma is of cherry and caramel malts. The taste is similar in quality, seems to be a very sweet beer with a long cherry malt finish. Alaskan amber is a well balancer brew but the sweet cherry malts simply do not impress my tastes.
