Jun 3, 2009 Bottle. Pours a bright golden color with a thin white head. Aroma isn’t bad... fruity with a hint of grain. Flavor is weak: fizzy and grainy. A lot like a BMC lager. I’ll give it refreshing; but not much else.

Jun 1, 2009 A pretty simple beer, enjoyable enough and pretty to style. Pours a nice blonde with a good head. The aroma is nice grainy and somewhat metallic. The flavor has a bright maltiness with a little honey well balanced by a plesant noble hoppiness.

May 24, 2009 12 oz bottle. pours a clear gold with small white head. Aroma is grain very much like a lager. sweet malts. Taste is about the same. very light bodied kinda watery, but sweet. not too bad.

May 22, 2009 (bottle from Springs Liquor Outlet in Colorado Springs). Pours a clear yellow color. Medium white head. Light alcohol aroma. Light grain and alcohol taste. Avg duration. Slightly astringent finish. Watery texture. Minimal lacing.

Apr 29, 2009 Pours a medium gold with just a little lacing forming. Looks and smells very lager-like, disappointingly. I mean very weak, barely-beerlike aroma. Flavor is slightly more robust, though not by much. I barely get any malt or hop flavors. Just the slightest hint of generic fruit. Palate is sprtizy, though watery. You know what? This shit is bunk. This would make a pretty decent lager. Calling it "ale" is simply false advertising. I’m very surprised and disappointed. I mean, I’m not trying to be an asshole or anything, but I just lost a lot of respect for Alaskan, considering what they’re capable of in the barleywine arena. Overall, just fair.

Apr 27, 2009 Had it in a bottle. Poured fairly smooth with a little bit of head. Decent flavor, slightly bitter aftertaste.

Apr 22, 2009 ours a luminous golden color, transparent, with reasonable white head. Nose is citrusy and metallic. Some metallic components on the palate too, with a nice herbal presence and crisp, light & refreshing malt. Faint sour element that disappears near the finish. Very refreshing and something I would love with good American pub fare.
