4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
UPDATED: AUG 7, 2010 re-rated 08/10
upped the rating quite a bit; have had this a couple of times and this is about as good a session/summer beer as there is.
Sweet up front - malty/slight caramel? great med. thick palate; ends with slight hops that are crisp/dry and a touch of seasoning (pepper). VERY underated beer!!
Very solid beer;
amber color with tan head that stayed awhile
Flavor was sweet malty with a smooth (non hoppy) finish.

UPDATED: MAY 4, 2008 One of the first Ambers I REALLY enjoyed and got me into exploring beer. If you ever get a chance to visit Juneau, visit this brewery

On Tap- Served a clear amber color with a decent head and some lacing.
Roasted grain & malt with a hint of sweetness. Light malt flavor with a slight sweetness that continues to a mild bitterness and a dry finish.
Moderate body that is smooth and well balanced. Very enjoyable and good when having more than one. This is one of my go to beers when working in Alaska.

bottle. Pours a ruby colored amber with gray bubbly head. Very nice looking brew. Aroma of malts, slight fruitiness like cherry, subtle cheese, almost smells like a biere de garde or old ale. Taste is smooth, balanced, with a malt cherry like flavor on the finish. Medium to full bodied, smooth, creamy, sessionable. This is very good, exceeded my expectations.

A: Poured with a large, off-white, fizzy head that diminished to a size of about 1/4-finger, and stayed that way until she was all gone.
S: Smells of average malt, kind of a cookie-like aroma.
T: Mmmm, this is a sweet beer... starts with sweetness and ends with sweetness, with a faint touch of bitterness at the end as well. Average duration, goes down very smooth.
M: Light-bodied and slightly creamy, with average carbonation.
D: A very enjoyable altbier; don’t have too many experiences with the style right now to compare, but this was my third Alaskan Amber and I enjoy it every time. Extremely drinkable.

Pours a lovely amber with a solid head that has OK retention and delivers decent mouthfeel.
It smells very malty with no hint of the hops.
Has a lovely, smooth malty flavor. Little hop flavor.

A pretty nice little beer, pouring (of course) a rich amber and with s smallish, off-white head that didn’t last very long. Aroma is rather subdued, but the taste is mildly malty with some hop as well. Smooth and refreshing, I’d like more of these.
