Brewed by Alaskan Brewing Co
Style: Altbier

Serve in Kölsch/Altbier

Draught, Toronado, San Francisco. Copper colour with a tan head. Sweet malts predominated in the nose and flavour. Pretty watery palate with a sllight metallic tang. Very underwhelming and not a particularly good interpretation of the style. Next !

Bottle. Deep amber, tan head. Quite malty, a little earthy and caramelly, a bit of some earthy hops balanced it out nicely. Lighter to medium body, quite smooth and easy drinking. I’d probably drink again.

Light copper color. Nicely balanced aroma of malt and fruity hops. Nicely hopped, bitterness carries into the palate. Just a touch of malty sweetness. Nice brew.

Copper orange color. Typical amber taste with some banana esters in there?

(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.

12 oz bottle. Poured a clear copper color with a one finger white head. The aroma was caramel malt and a bit of earthy hops. The flavor was well balanced, with a solid caramel malt base and an earthy, bitter finish. This was a pretty solid brew.

Draft. Pours a red toned amber. Little head. Smells very malty. Flavors are a bit too sweet. No real direction sweetness a little muddled.. Sticky on the palate. OK, but nothing too special.

22oz bottle. Pours clearish amber with a very thin, fizzy white head. Smells crisp malty, caramelly sweet. Tastes crisp, sweet malty with some caramel and slight earth notes. Medium body, crisp carbonation.
