very smooth and easy to drink. Enjoyed it from start to finish. I look forward to trying more from this brewer

Has a nice darkish red color with a sublte white foam head. The flavor and aroma is a little sweet and hoppy.

12oz bottle. Pours a clear, reddish copper colored body with a thin, off-white head that dissipates quickly and leaves a light lacing. Aroma is sweet malt with a light caramel and a good amount of floral fruit. Prunes, cherry, apples, bananas, dry clove, nuts, and a hint of hop. Flavor is similar. Sweet malts and fruity. The fruits give off a bit of a tartness with more of the cherries, prunes, and apples. A light banana-clove, nutty toast, and caramel before this completely dries with a nice, floral bitterness. Somewhat earthy and grassy too. Very clean with a medium length aftertaste. Light body and smooth. Overall, a decent beer. I thought the bitterness was a bit awkward at first, but it really grew on me. Although there are better ambers/altbiers, this was easy drinking and enjoyable. Not bad.

On tap at wolf creek brewery. Pours a copper light red. Denite malty flavors rigt off the stArt. I get a slight bannana clove flaver on the palate. Hardly any lacing on the glass. after taste harsh and bitter with lingering malt. A beer that needs to be enjoyed on a cool day.

Bottle bought in CA. Orange-amber color. Low, fine head. Nutty, roasted aroma, rich but not fragrant. Fruity, quite sweet for alt, with a touch of citrus and a bit nutty. Sweet and sour finish, with roasted malt. Fruitier than your average alt, though otherwise a pretty straightforward interpretation of the style. Light and refreshing, flavorful and very well done, but lacking the depth and complexity of the fresh Dusseldorf alts.

I wasn’t going to buy this until I realized that it was an alt, so into my mix-a-six it went - sadly, this is probably one of the most boring alts I’ve ever had - I find it hard to really describe this beer - all I can say is that it is "malty" - this is a very nondescript beer - there is a mild hop presence and a metallic, copper/penny-like character on the tail end - a little bit estery - meh.

12 oz. bottle- Pours amber color with average head, aroma is sweet malt , it’s very light and refreshing. The flavor is also malt, but is better than your average amber ale. I am having a hard time saying anything about this beer because there is not any overwhelmingly good or bad things to say about it, so I’ll just say cheers!

On tap at pour 24 in ny,ny. Pours a clear copper with a small frothy white head. The aroma is a faint fruit malt with a faint cararamel. Medium mouthfeel with a sweet malt with raisin and caramel. Easy to drink a good amber ale from alaskan brewery.
