VitaminR (421), Colorado, USA May 7, 2008 Nutmeg and caramel nose. Deep red-copper, minimal head. Full malt sweetness, slow subtle bitterness. Smooth carbonation, finishes fairly clean. Very drinkable and enjoyable beer. Rciesla (3500), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA May 7, 2008 Bottle. I was not a fan of this beer. Pours Amber white 2 finger head quickly diminsishing to this hoppy, fruity alt. Wheat and earthy notes. eh. soulgrowl (52), Kitakyushu-shi, Japan May 7, 2008 Aroma: Banana, faint caramel malts, resiny hops. Not very complex, but interesting.
Appearance: Lovely red-rose amber. A crisp, bright, clear color. Very poor retention of a short-lived, recycled paper-colored head.
Flavor: Banana flavor comes through, plus a tangy yeast finish that reminds me of a dubbel. Mild, leafy hops and pome-like, fruity hops.
Palate: Nicely tinglesome, pleasantly carbonated and not cloying at all.
Overall: A versatile session beer that would match well with many foods. Ham and pumpkin pie come to mind. desurfer (1067), Pinellas Park, Florida, USA May 6, 2008 Pours a light reddish-amber. Aroma is mild and hoppy. Flavor has a smooth, doughy maltiness and some light hops. A nice, easy drinkable beer. stpetefl (6), Saint Augustine, Florida, USA does not count May 4, 2008 This is my favorite beer. I just moved from Seattle to Florida and i hate that I can’t get this beer! I miss my Alaskan Amber!! travita (1851), Frisco, Texas, USA May 1, 2008 Copper colored and clear with a decent white head. Smell is somewhat sweet, wheat, and grains. Taste is sweet, wheat, matly. Medium body. redgold07 (308), Irving, Texas, USA May 1, 2008 Pours a copper/amber color with a fluffy white head. Aroma is slightly bitter/hoppy but also earthy. Flavor is well-rounded... a combination of caramel hops and earthy, lemony bittering hops.
