Commercial Description:
Subtlety. That's what makes our Avalanche amber ale such a treat. We blend pale and caramel malts -- and just a kiss of bittering hops -- to create a refreshing-but-flavorful, any-time beer. Aromas of pale grains, a semi-sweet middle and a clean-as-Colorado-snow finish make this our best-selling beer.

The aroma has both buttery and nutty elements along with vinegar and corn malt. Not my fav. The appearance is amber with a small head. The flavor has nothing bad like the aroma. It’s only slightly sweet it’s mostly malty with some hops to balance. Ti does however have some of the buttery and nutty qualities. The palate is smooth. Overall I like it I just dislike the aroma.

12 oz. bottle pour to pint shaker. Slightly hazy nutty brown color with small tan head that quickly dissipates. Light lacing. Not much to the aroma with just a touch of nutty sweetness. Flavor is mild and unoffensive (backhanded compliment). Not bad for a session beer but there are much better choices available.

Pours a nutty brown color with a thin white head. Aroma is a little caramel malt. Flavor is mostly sweet caramel with a little caramel malt flavor, too. 12 oz. bottle.

Bottle. Amber color with an off white head. Aroma is offensive to the nostrils... amonia like, this might be a bad bottle. Taste is mildly sweet with a noble like bitter finish. Not that impressed.
