Alaskan Amber

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

Serve in Kölsch/Altbier

Draft at Jakes in Billings, Mt. recommended by Stephanie. Dark amber color with an average frothy white head that diminished slowly. Moderate sweet hoppy aroma. Medium body with a slick texture. Moderate sweet flavor with a balanced finish of average duration. Good drinkable brew.

Nice amber colour with a thin white head. Spicy aroma with some caramel malt with a vegetal and faint berry aroma. Crisp finish and seemed like a great session beer. Was served to me a bit too-cold and I did’t have time to warm it up. Can’t complain though since I got it for free when someone rang the bell in Haines, AK.

Pours a glowing copper with a light eggshell head. Soft pale malty aroma. Flavor is light, semi-sweet, and earthy. This is a good altbier that is well-balanced.

Fully clear chestnut; nearly no head, yellow tinted rim. Bit leathery nose, malt, leathergrease - though no Brett here. Slightly sweet ale, malty, very little coloured malts notes. Light body, but a clean palate. Nowhere next to a real Alt. Just a good sweet-ish session ale.

Nose and flavor of old apples, ashtray and boot. Big sour malts, sticky and overpoweing sour leather, tobacco and burnt maples. Not a good experience.

Pours with a tall, thick, off-white head covering a clear, amber body with light lacing. Aroma of malts and prunes. Taste is of malts and pitted fruits. Creamy mouthfeel with light cabonation. This was in a taste off for a keg at my birthday party (other contestants were Stone Pale Ale, Sierra Nevada, and Boston Lager) this won.

Bottle. A amber beer with a off-white head. The aroma and taste is of corn and caramel, light body with a light sweet finish. Boring.

Bottle courtesy of Irishboy. Pours reddish brown with an off white head. Smells of sweet malt, flowers, lemons, sugar, some perfume, tangy malt and roses. Tastes of roses, earthy hints, some soapy hints, some hints of straw, Complex and very enjoyable.
