Alaskan Amber

Brewed by Alaskan Brewing Co
Style: Altbier
Juneau, Alaska USA

I find this to be a very nice amber ale. Always pleasing and consistent. This is my go to beer when I am in a place that has a lot of other crap on tap. A healthy maltiness, with lots of caramel and just a bit of a hop bite in the finish.

I really want to like this beer, but is just too sweet for me. Good amber color in the glass with a nice head on it. The flavor is well balanced, it just finishes too sweet for me.

Crushed with Jakebra at Falling Rock. Musty, malty nose. Kinda thin bodied, but some nice smooth flavor and a bit of hops makes it kinda aight.

From the tap poured amber with a good amount of head. Nice smooth flavor and finish.

22oz bottle. Pours clearish amber with a very thin, fizzy white head. Smells crisp malty, caramelly sweet. Tastes crisp, sweet malty with some caramel and slight earth notes. Medium body, crisp carbonation.

12 oz bottle via Roth’s. Pours a crystal clear dark reddish amber with a nice average size dense head. Nose is a bit fruity, perhaps some cherries- with some caramel and molasses prevalent. And it is pretty sweet. Sort of a cross between a sweet nutty brown Ale and an amber ale. The hops are very subdued, perhaps they are British hops. Nice easy to drink tastey beer.

This tastes just like the golden pale, but with a bit more of a smoked finish. The aftertaste of this one as well as the pale, was horrible. I was expecting much more. I will have to try the stout before I put this brewery out of my sights.

Nice fluffy cotton head sits atop a moderately carbonated burnt orange body. The aroma is all malt with caramel & toffee dominant. Flavor is sweeter than most. A good drinkable session beer. Solid.
