Alaskan Summer Ale

Poured a dull yellow-copper clouded body with a silky whitish head. Yeasty nose coupled with Bavarian maltiness. Bready, grainy, well hopped. Very much a kolsch. Sessionable as the day is long. Pairs well with spicy foods and/or hot sauces.

I can almost taste the glacier. Has a clear, fresh aroma and taste. It is a bit pale and the head is thin. But . . . it rests easy on the palate, brings balanced hops to the tongue while retaining a subtle clover-like sweetness. Overall fulfilling to drink.

draft. clear yellow gold with thin white head. slight sweet malt on the aroma. flavor is low levels of malt, tart citrus and bitter hop. the palate is quite thin without being overly watery. flavors run mild but are there if you’re looking for them. doesn’t have the crisp dry finish that i typically associate with kolsch. would make a reasonable session beer if macro drinkers are present but it does little justice to the style.

350 ml bottle. Clear golden yellow with a fizzy white head. Bready and malty aroma and taste with a clean crisp refreshing finish.

Bottle - Poured a straw-yellow n color with a small white head. Aroma is sweet, flowery and malty with only a very small hint of hops. Flavor is also somewhat fruity and sweet with strong maltiness. Some hop bitterness. Somewhat sour in the aftertaste. Clean on the palate. Not bad... drinkable...

Too sweet and too linear. Not much complexity. Great if I was at a party on a beach but nothing I’d drink if I had a choice. Much too sweet and dirty for a kolsch.

Alaskan Summer Ale is a crystal-clear golden ale, highly sparkling with a white head that vanishes and leaves pretty good lacing. It has a grainy aroma that is fruity and grassy. It has a big, smooth body with a champagne texture. The finish is clean and slick. What a smooth taste! this is something you could get your dad to drink. It’s lightly bitter, with a simple grainy taste. There is a hint of fruit to it. Excellent session ale. It’s like if you took a macro, removed the adjuncts and added much more malted barley. Nice! A summer ale without gimmicks!

This was a dissapointment. There was little aroma but a good amount of flavor. So it was just so-so. I thought it would be better coming from Alaskan.
