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

Serve in Kölsch/Altbier

From the tap poured amber with a good amount of head. Nice smooth flavor and finish.

Tap at, well I can’t really remember where but I know it was in Las Vegas. Pours a nice copper color with a thick white head. Aroma is nice sweet malt and caramel. Taste is similar, nice caramel touch with sweet malts and a touch of bitterness. Good session brew.

Malty on the nose, some caramel, hints of spicy hops. Pours pale orange. Smooth flavor, very light though, pretty malty, with hints of caramel.

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.

Pours translucent rich bright ruby with a creamy beige head. Aroma of citrus and caramel. Taste is a great balance of bread, sweet citrus and caramel again with very minmal husky grain bitterness. Incredibly smooth and easy to drink. Now I see why people always asked me for this so much when I worked at a beer store (not distributed to middle TN). It’s something main stream as far as taste but still appeals to people used to more flavor in beer.

On tap at The Taphouse, pours clear amber / copper. Aroma of floral hops and caramel malt. Flavour is pretty muted - some floral notes, a little sweetness and caramel maltiness. Not bad.

Bottle sampled with Stegosaurus, obtained through my west coast connection. Pours deep amber with an eggshell colored head. Aroma of sweetness and caramel. The flavor is much the same with carbonation sneaking in there as well as its watery body.

Ruby. Copper. Very much a straight up session beer which I suppose it is here in the Pacific Northwest where I’m tasting it. It’s on most menus. A nice other beer, in place of the standard lineup most downtown bars have.
