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.

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.

22 oz bottle split between two pints poured medium brown with a small white head. Light caramel aroma. Thin body was slightly skunky/cabbage like. Maybe a bad bottle, I hope.

Poured a nice amber with a substantial head. Nothing spectacular to the aroma or to the flavor, but it was not bad.

Sour, flat, thin awful. Perhaps this had gone bad? The one that I had out of a bottle from my reliable cool bottle store was just awful, I poured it out.

Clear amber pour with nice white head. Light roast and some hops on the nose. Flavor has a touch of roasted malt with a decent hint of hops. Body is medium with a clean dry finish.
