COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Our flagship beer is based on a turn-of-the-century recipe that quenched the thirst of miners during the Klondike Gold Rush. Smooth and richly malty, this altbier goes well with any meal.

My favorite beer, so I have it on tap. Amber colored, clear, not much head when poured. As other have said, there is a carmel flavor, but it isn’t too sweet, so goes well with any type of meal. I find everyone who tries it, likes it.

This is a very drinkable and enjoyable beer. The color is a great amber shade and the flavor is light, fruity and crisp. I keep this one available at home all the time.

I was really surprised to find this to be a very excellent amber. It is not weak, lots of flavor, yet very smooth. Very drinkable and enjoyable. Flavors are light however bold at the same time. An excellent beer!

Ah, Alaskan Amber - along with Full Sail is one of my favorite "broadly accessible" ambers. Combines a rich malt base with some choice hops to bring it to life and provide balance. Never too sweet or too bitter, a great benchmark for the easy drinking amber.
