Alaskan Amber

Brewed by Alaskan Brewing Co
Style: Altbier
Juneau, Alaska USA

Serve in Kölsch/Altbier

Tried this in the back of a tour bus on the way to a drum corps show. Decent smell. Has fruity notes and ferment. Tastes of cherries and aged fruit. Decent to say the least.

12oz. Bottle: Aroma of malts and some caramel. Poured amber/orange in color with a tiny white head that disappeared immediately. Slightly cloudy. Slightly sparkling. Flavor is lightly sweet. Tastes of malts, skunk, and caramel. Medium body. Oily texture. Skunk, malt and caramel finish. Not really an Alt, and not a beer I would buy again.

UPDATED: JUL 9, 2009 (bottle) dark amber colour, medium beige head; malty, bit dry and mineral flavour, long but mild bitter finish. Underwhelming

Sampled many times. Pours brown with a light amberness and has a good solid head on it. Drinks crisp and goes down nicely. A very high quality amber.

Pours clear amber with a medium beige head, fine lasting lacing. Smells of caramel, bubblegum, banana and biscuit. Medium-thin body, smooth, mildly dry and crisp. Flavors of caramel, biscuit, apple, banana, citrus, with a slight mineral character. A light citrus and grass finish. Very drinkable.

Bottle. Pours a hazy amber with a good size beige head. Flavor and aroma are much the same: sweet caramel, malts. Very light on both counts. Not bad.

Bright red in colour with ornage coloured head. Thin body but strong biscuit malty falvour.

Pours a lovely amber with a solid head that has OK retention and delivers decent mouthfeel. It smells very malty with no hint of the hops. Has a lovely, smooth malty flavor. Little hop flavor.
