Alaskan Amber

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

Serve in Kölsch/Altbier

This beer is really pretty decent, but still nothing much to it. I like some more complexity.

Appearance is a small white head with amber color. Aroma is caramel malts. Taste is similar with sweet caramel and minimal bitterness. Overall not a lot of character, but very drinkable.

Aroma is a little lacking, but it pours a very nice, uhmm amber. Taste is initially some malty sweetness but just as it fades some dryness kicks in. Very balanced and enjoyable.

12 oz. bottle, consumed on 7-29-11. Pours an effervescent, clear, bright amber. Small amount of short-lasting beige head. Produces decent lacing. Simple smell of toast, biscuit, melon, raisin bread. Some light, dry hoppiness in the aroma. Simple but refreshing taste. Bland, like lightly hopped cardboard. A hint of fish. Not bad, just not much to it. Easy to drink. Medium body. Crisp. Refreshing. Likable palate effects. Alaskan Amber is a good choice if you’re looking for a beer to refresh and not to ponder.

delicious session brew for a great price. decent little hop profile, and nice cerealy and caramely malts, very light, almost a lager yest taste. good drinker and the price is right at 2.99 a bomber.

Sampled this twice on an Alaskan vacation. Both times on tap at El Sombrero in Juneau (7/5/2011) and at Trackers in Fairbanks (7/13/2011), Poured reddish amber color with a thin head. Nice balance and finish. Very drinkable beer but prefer Denali Red.

Very disappointing (especially after we finagled our way into getting an after-hours beer from the lodge at Lake Crescent. Boring at best, bad aftertaste at worst.

I am surprised they still make this. Pretty gross. First impression from the aroma is mac and cheese and then throw up. The only thing redeeming is the color. Beautiful red.
