On tap at the brewpub. Pours a golden yellow color with a small white head. Aroma of caramel, floral and hints of citrus. Flavors of caramel sweet malts, some hop bittereness and on the thin side for 8%/

Nice stuff here, this is what I drink whenever I am visiting Wasilla, if they happen to have it on tap, Im drinking it. Rich caramel background, with some citrus hop bite in the finish. Well structured and malty, with a sweet candied fruit finish. Very enjoyable.

Yellow in color with good head for an Ale. It had a nice carmel smell that I always enjoy. I don’t remember much else about it except enjoying it.

GABF 2004. Finally, an Alaskan beer! Light yellow, slightly cloudy, with an average-sized frothy head. Heavy caramel malt aroma with flowery hops intermixed. Moderately bitter flavor initially turns very sweet towards the finish (here comes the cane sugar!). Medium body, sticky up front, oily in back, with soft carbonation.
