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.

Had this on a recent trip to Steamboat and thought it was alright. Wouldn’t mind being able to get it in ohio.

Aroma is light a bit sweet maybe a bit of fruit. The appearance is a rusty amber, with a cream colered head. The tatse was a bit hoppy, with a rather strong bitter aftertaste. The beer was smoothe, and drinkable. A fair amber beer.

3fourths (6948) - Straßgiech, Bavaria, GERMANY - JAN 12, 2003
UPDATED: JUL 3, 2007 [rerate needed] Not a good experience with this beer. Tasted almost rancid, and quite sour. Watery, and played bad on my tongue. Probably the worst "micro" found in Colorado.

PBOYNY (316) - Westchester, New York, USA - JAN 2, 2003
i remember when this beer actually was good, what the hell happened to it, an annoying chemical taste and weak, over-carbonated nasty brew that tastes like it was brewed with plasma .

Good, Not the best amber ale I’ve had, but suitable for myself. Somewhat strong aftertaste. Nice Label.

Boring and way too "subtle". It really didn’t taste like anything to me.

grant (842) - Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA - DEC 10, 2002
I swear that this stuff smells like some kind of hair care product; a perm perhaps? Really sweet with a smoky (cigarette smoke, that is) wisp in there somewhere. Hugely metallic edge pervades the whole beer. Boring, shoddy, and watery.

JCW (1273) - Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - NOV 14, 2002
UPDATED: FEB 2, 2003 Beautiful reddish amber in color. Not much of an aroma. I can't taste the hops at all. This beer is very sweet. I can't even taste the carmel in the malt. The finish is also sweet.

3.8

hopscotch (8215) - Vero Beach, Florida, USA - NOV 7, 2002
This beer rocks. I see it’s not a favorite among the others who have rated it. The commercial description will have to suffice since I took no notes while drinking this beer. However, if you enjoy other Amber Ales that I have rated highly, I see no reason why you wouldn’t enjoy this malty beer as well.
