Alaskan Amber

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

Thick amber pour with no head. Light malt aromas, but big malt -- nearly chocolate -- flavors. Plenty of hopping and a nice amount of carbonation to make the beer lighter on the palate than it would otherwise be.

Pours a deep amber with a really nice head. Aromas are nutty and sweet with some anise in the background. A good firm body with some nice mild noble hop flavor. Great session beer.

Bright copper with a solid off-white head. malty aroma. Tasted, sweet, crisp fruit, and light hops. Flavor is of a similar profile. Very clean and crisp although not all that exciting. Still, this is an easy to drink and tasty brew that I could stick with for an evening.

Bottle: This is one of my everyday favorites. Although the picture shows it with a nice head, mine was missing. Lots of carbonation which made it crisp and refreshing. It is a medium copper color and clear. It has a mild wheat flavor which is what first caused me to like beer. Typically, I prefer a little bitterness and even though this isn’t too bitter, I still enjoy it very much.

Pours medium amber, simple, slightly thin, malty, caramel, little bready, little hop.

Dark Reddish orange brown color. Medium sized white foamy head. Big malt and caramel aromatics. Caramel and crystal malt flavors, aligned with a slight toastiness. Finish is slightly ester fruity sweet, with a crispness of residual hop bitterness. Mouthfeel is medium, but very clean and wieldy.

Bottle: Red-brown colour, small head. Bitter-sweet, hints of chocolate, caramel and coffee.

12 oz bottle. Pours a rich copper color with an off white head. Aroma was very light with some spice and molasses. Flavor was mostly sweet malts with some anise, molasses, and a tinge of orange flavor. Hops were minimal, more hoppiness would have been welcomed. Mouthfeel was a bit thin. Finish was sticky and filmy with more molasses flavor. Makes for a good clean-out-the-garage beer.
