Alaskan Summer Ale

clear straw, small white head. Mildly fruity, no bitterness, malty finish.

Straw yellow with low carbonationAroma is mild skunky with spice. Starts thin and mild then a strong malt hits the top of the tounge and the skuny and spice that it smelled of comes through, finished tinny and sharp with lingering musk.

Pours pale gold w/ medium sized, creamy froth. Aroma is fresh and fruity. Medium nectar w/ ample residual effers. Flavors are clean and fruity w/ candied citrus, spice, and slight biscuits. The finish is mellow malt. Overall: I mellow, fruity brew with no bittering.

Still getting my palate around this style. 6-pack picked up with Poperinge at Safeway in Bonners Ferry, our first US stop on the drive to Portland. Dark gold. Fizzy. Maintains a very thin head of tight bubbles. Raw grain and vegetable aroma. Flavour has a metallic edge. Chewy vegetable and hops. Just the slightest hint of orange. Some saltiness. Overall a bit rough.

Probably well done for the style... I just don’t care for the style; it’s way too subdued and bland. Like an ale trying to be a run of the mill pilsener.

From the bottle.

Pours a very clear light orange with small headd. The arom is a sour grassy, dusty hops and a bit of grain; the flaavor comes through with a solid warm malt, not dark or rich, just very clearly present if somewhat grainy. Mouthfeel is relatively full and butter/oily consider how easily it goes down.

Golden yellow in color, white head is gone quickly. Tastes of citrus, grain, and mild hops. Fairly plain in my opinion. Alaskan makes a better beer than this...

Not my favorite style, but a solid brew, abit on the grainy side, a little sweet, but very easy drinking, just not my favorite style, good for what it is.
