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.

Unbelievably smooth, slick palate. It really just seems to glide down your throat. This is one of those beers that is much better on tap than in the bottle, so try it if you see it in a bar. An excellent brew to get for your friends who are leary about micros, as its so drinkable that won’t find it offense. For the rest of us, notice the great rounded-malt flavors. Puts Samuel Adams Boston Lager (also broadly in the alt style) to shame.

Sweet caramel in the aroma mixes with lightl roasted malts and some hops. Brilliantly clear amber with a nice white head and plenty of effervescent bubbles. Caramel malts bounce around in harmony with some toast and bitterness. Some tin in the flavor, but delish otherwise. Thanks Andre!

Probably my favorite beer. Definately the one I missed when I was outside of the great northwest. Wonderfully malty, comlex. Get flavors, of caramel, toffee, roasted malts, nuts, rich, nice sweetness, with just a hint of hops to finish off. Outstanding beer.

UPDATED: JAN 31, 2004 Draft: Appealing amber color with an almost fruity aroma. Head was light and did not last long. Taste is smooth and sweet. A very drinkable beer. Goes GREAT with Buffalo wings or ribs. I hope to be able to find this quality beer in the lower 48! (I enjoyed this beer at TGI Friday's in Anchorage, AK)
