Alaskan Amber

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

Serve in Kölsch/Altbier

On draft at SeaTac airport. Amber / reddish pour with a thin head. Taste is caramel, nuts, bread, and vanilla. Smooth finish. Balanced and very good.

Sampled from bottle. Poured a reddish amber color, small white head. Aroma was light caramel, grains. Nothing offensive about this one, but a bit standard. This one was better than I expected, but nothing to call home about.

Nice and malty profile in the aroma with a touch of hops. The flavor was malty sweet with caramel and nicely balanced with the bitter hops. Pours an amber color with a small off white head.

UPDATED: JAN 30, 2012 Standard amber ale. Very drinkable but not too memorable. Very nice reddish hue with a small head that leaves quickly. It lacks the fruity character of an amber but isn’t earthy enough for an alt. Still, it is clean and a solid beer. If it was a local brewery I might drink more of it but it’s nothing to really seek out IMO. 1-30-2012 Picked up a bomber of this on sale this weekend. It still goes down smooth and was quite enjoyable. Solid brew.

12 oz bottle from Princeton’s. Amber colored pour with a white head. Malty, somewhat fruity aroma. Tangy malty flavor. Decent beer but not one I’d go out of my way to buy.

Tap.WTF - boring. Just caramel malt in aroma and taste. Nothing else. Bleh.

Very drinkable amber. Balanced hops and malt, but very tame overall. Good for the domestic beer drinker who wants to branch out. I would drink this out with the guys at a bar, but would probably chose a bolder beer at home. Comparable to Michelob Amber Boch in my honest opinion.

Nothing to see here,this is not an Alt beer.Go to Schlösser Alt for a real Alt beer.
