COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Winter comes early in Alaska, so we release Alaskan Winter Ale in October. The tender new growth of spruce trees has been used for brewing in Alaska since the late 1700s when explorers sailed the coast of Alaska looking for the Northwest Passage. Alaskan Brewing revives this tradition, adding spruce tips to its Alaskan Winter Ale.

AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20

joet (1919) - Santa Rosa, California, USA - NOV 8, 2001

Nice color and ephemeral fine bubbled head. The ’gebot-defying spruce is distinct from a hoppy ’pine’ aroma but still short of assertive. Slightly sticky and heavy. I’m wondering how this might be next year if some more sugars convert. Heck, I’d also really like to see this less filtered or fined -- it may have lost some aroma.
