Jun 30, 2007 Picked up a 12-oz bottle from ABA annual meeting beer swap in Portland, OR. Pours a golden amber brew with a creamy off-white that dissolves to a fine film. Aroma of tart citrus fruits, iced tea, and a touch of honey. Taste is a good balance of sweet and tart fruits, some lemon peel and a hint of yeast. Finish is dry and a tart citrus aftertaste.

Jun 29, 2007 Thank you Skyview for hauling this one back. Clear gold color with no head. Aroma of honey and wheat. Orange and citrusy flavor, finished off with a pinch of wheat. Very crisp and clean. Nice.

Jun 29, 2007 Thanks to skyview for sharing. super clear golden color with a nice whitish head. Light biscuity nose with a hint of citrus. Nice full carbonated mouthfeel, with an earthy component. Tasty, but not spectacular.

Jun 28, 2007 For a summer beer not bad, slight maltiness. A bit of citrus, went down easy on a hot afternoon.

Jun 27, 2007 Updated: Nov 8, 2007Bottle. Pours clear golden with a small white head. Aroma is mainly light malts and some grain, slightly sweet, with a bit of yeast, citrus, and floral hops. Flavor is semi-sweet grainy malt with a small hops kick and some citrus. Refreshing and crisp while maintaining an interesting set of flavors. Pretty good, especially for the normally underwhelming category of summer seasonals.

Jun 23, 2007 6/23/2007: Alaskan Summer Ale pours a transparent, deek golden color with large, foamy white head. There is a generous amount of lively carbonation. The aroma contains some brown sugar, pale malts, hint of yeast, and a touch of apple. The flavor begins a little sweet and then moves toward some light fruit (apples and even some banana at time) and then to a dry, spicy finish. There is a toasty or lightly roasted taste in the mid-palate through the finish as well. Light, crisp, and refreshing overall. This beer isn’t necessarily great, but it’s not too bad and is definitely good for the Summer.
12 oz bottle (A090107) sent to my by Yonkers65. Thanks Bruce!
