On tap at both The Moose’s Tooth and The Bear’s Tooth. This is a good beer that’s kind of a cross between an Amber and a Pale Ale. Coppery, red color, small whitish head. Aroma of hops and very light malty scent. This is a fairly strong beer in both taste and alcohol content.

17-Jan-08 (Draft: Moose’s Tooth Pub and Pizzeria in Anchorage, AK) Described as a deep-red malty ale, this beer comes across as a West Coast style red ale. It’s toasty, mildly sweet, and somewhat caramely, but wonderfully malty overall. The flavorful malts are balanced by medium bitterness and citrus peel flavor from the hops, with a long-lasting citrusy finish. Medium-full in body with medium to strong carbonation (it’s a somewhat burpy beer) and a nice crisp finish. There isn’t much aroma to the beer, but when swirled, the fresh hop aroma suddenly bursts forth from the glass. Surprisingly, the malts provide lots of flavor but little aroma. Dark ruddy amber in color and fairly hazy with a small, filmy off-white coating atop the beer. Overall, a solid beer with a nice balance of rich malts and crisp hops. After all my visits to Anchorage and the Moose’s Tooth, I’m glad this was finally on tap.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours a translucent golden amber with an average bubbly white head. Aroma of citrus, pine, grapefruit, some toasted malts and sugary sweetness. Flavors were a mix of the same. Interesting take on a brown ale.

Pours an amber color with a white head. Aroma is malty, and lots of citrus grapefruit hops. Flavor is a hint of caramel with a light bitter grapefruit finish.

Sit down at the Bear’s Tooth and enjoy a movie with this delicious ale. Can’t go wrong with a brew from this place.

On tap at the Bear Tooth. Clear deep amber color with a lasting whispy off white head. Sweet nose of burnt sugar. This was a hoppy ale with flavors of orange rind, grapefruit juice, some apricot and red apple. I had this with spicey southwestern food and it complimented the heat very well. Long hoppy finish. Nice session ale.

Draft at the brewpub’s sister Bear’s Tooth Grill, Anchorage, 7/8/05: Dark muddy orange-red with virtually no head. Decent hop aroma; milky hop flavors and very orangey. Great.
