Alaskan Amber

Had this on tap at Pap. The 7 for aroma is the malts. Reminded me of as a kid ridding past the malt house in the back of the Brady wagon. Otherwise not a beer for me.

9/15/05 Had one at the BOB in Phoenix. Missed something in this beer first time arround. More balance in the flavor that gave me a better impression of this beer.

Has a dark amber, iced tea color. Light malt aroma. Very clean on the palate. Smooth malt character, nice and refreshing. Some mild hop bitterness, ends with a clean dry aftertaste. From a 22oz bomber but I bet it would be great from the tap.

(Bottle) Pours a clear amber body with a medium beige head. Aroma of malt, caramel, and hint of fruit. Malty base flavor with caramel and some cherry.

Pours a beautiful crystal clear amber color, nice white head. Aroma is clean and malty, hints of caramel. Flavor is nice and clean, good balance between restrained hops and good malt backbone, very little evidence of yeast character. Good clean German Alt style amber ale, but relatively mainsteram. Well-made, but not terribly interesting.

If grandma could make grapfruit bread, it would be this color. Grandma aside, this beer has a sexy pour. It makes both the glass and myself wet. Caramelly, extremely well balanced sweetness with some biting hops. I first had this at the Alaska State Fair while biking through the state with my dad, so my rating may be skewed toward the positive due to my associations with it. On draft, this is in my top 10, but it’s also great from the bottle, cold.

Orange-red hazy Amber. Sweet carmel malty aroma. Nicely balanced beer. Pleasant surprise.

Light cherry wood color with a full stone/khaki head and very good lacing. Floral, spicy and malty aroma. Rich and balanced flavor with a solid malty backbone and a bit of fruity sweetness. Some hoppy bitterness in the extremely dry finish. This beer was very hard to get but the search was well worth it. Too bad I don’t have easy access to a lot more of it!

ruby brown with a large light brown creamy head. sweet malt nose that doesn’t give a hint of hops. bubblegum flavor. this is very malty with a lingering candy finish. there is a slight tartness in there that is a great counter point to this sugary sweetness.
