Alaskan Amber

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

Serve in Kölsch/Altbier

(12oz bottle). Pours a clear amber color with off-white head and moderate carbonation. No lacing on this. Aroma of caramel, cherries (?), roasted nuts. Taste is sweet malt with a bit of hop bittering on the end. Medium bodied with an oily texture. Fizzy on the tongue. Ok beer, but I would not search this out.

Nice dark amber color, has a nice lager scent and a crisp refreshing taste.

12oz into glass mug. 1 finger thin lightly off white head that dissipates rather quickly. Looks like a generic amber, very clear. smells of malts and a certain sense of a lager. a slight bitter taste at first that warms and broadens into long lasting wide carmel and pale malts. it has a malty larger feel to it in the mouth. it finishes quick with minimal aftertaste. little to no lacing. overall quite refreshing and a good baseline beer for the style. overall 6 out of 10

Thanks to drabmuh for this best of styles tick. Served in a tulip. Pours a light amber color with a thin tan head. Little to no lacing and a slight collar. Nose is pretty light with some bready malt and not too much else. Maybe a touch of earthy hops in the background. Taste is bread crust and a light sweetness. Faint caramel and hops. Feel is quite thin and a bit undercarbonated. Drinks alright, but isn’t anything special. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 12-24-2010

Draft sample at the Schlafly Repeal of Prohibition Festival. Pours a clear amber color with a small off-white head. Aroma of toasted sweet malts, brown sugar, mild earthy hops, and a little bit of something like chocolate. Flavor of toasty malts, brown sugar, mild spices, and a bit of earth. Light-medium bodied, with a malty mouthfeel and medium carbonation. This was surprisingly good for an amber ale, and one of the beers I enjoyed quite a bit at this festival.

Schlafly Repeal of Prohibition fest 2011 - Pours amber (obviously) with a tannish head. The aroma has sweet malt, brown sugar, toasty malt and an overall richness. It has a medium body that is rich with lots of gentle carbonation. Th taste starts with the aroma traits along with breadiness and more richness and brown sugar. The finish has some spice and more richness. Sad I didn’t get more notes, but the brutal weather made the notes short. This was a really nice alt & hope I get to try more at some point.

Decent beer. Has a medium pour with light body and light hop taste. Decent beer
