Commercial Description:
Richly malty and long on the palate, with just enough hop backing to make this beautiful amber colored "alt" style beer notably well-balanced.

Amber color with a small head. Aroma was sweet & bready, but put me off a bit. Taste was somewhat sweet and gingerbread-like, but I wasn’t really getting in to this beer. Could have been better.

Bottle. Nice amber color. Good white head. Complex odors and flavors, with fruits, malts, and hops in good balance. Very nice taste. A far better than average offering.

I enjoy this one from time to time, but my best experience came when I had it in Alaska with my wife while we were on a cruise. It went INCREDIBLY well with the king salmon chowder that a local micro-brew in Skagway was selling. While the bottle version is slightly different, it is still very good. Complex malt flavour, medium-bodied, and just the right amount of hops to let you know they are there. Copper colored with a nice white head. Nothing else can really be said that hasn’t. Always a good buy.

On tap at the 2009 NABA. Pours a deep and bright amber color with a large foamy white head. The aroma is sweet caramel malts, light fruitiness and earthy malt. The flavor was similar; easygoing caramel, slightly bready malts and light fruit. Easygoing and very drinkable.

120z bottle-A light amber in color with a nice head that keeps its retention. Has an aroma of malt and caramel and nuts. A malty flavor with hints of honey. A light to medium body. A nice tasting beer.

Made a decent appearance, poured a clear reddish amber with a foamy pale tannish head that quickly settled into a thin lacing, moderate carbonation. Very faint aromas, toasted grains and a nutty, sweet malty. A semi-crisp, smooth medium bodied mouth feel, average drinkability. Semi-sweet tea and floral light hop bitterness, a watery toasted graininess, nutty and caramelized sugary maltiness and a watery sweet and fruity finish. This is my least favorite beer I’ve had from Alaskan Brewing, an average altbier at best.

Alaskan Airlines- good malt presence that dominates and satisfies. Low hop character was much appreciated.
