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.

Can’t picture anyone in Alaska drinking this one but I’m not the biggest altbier fan. p.s. wish I had another Jamaica Red Ale

Sampled many times. Pours brown with a light amberness and has a good solid head on it. Drinks crisp and goes down nicely. A very high quality amber.

Pours clear red/abmer with a thin soapy white head. Aroma of light toffee, cookie malts, and some vegetable nuiances. Some chocolate, wood, brown bread crusts. A Smidgen of brown sugar. Toasty dry finish. Thin.

orange brown. slight tan head, a bit frothy. smells so fresh, baked bread. immediate sweetness hits my tongue. excellent. sweet/(slight fruit/apple) - moderated flavor leaves me for more. pleasant aftertaste. a bit thick to my stomach - buttery (& a bit syrupy/cloying), smooth, could be the buttery end that's too thick for me. pleasant beer though. thanks tannertavernboy!

Draft. Pours a red toned amber. Little head. Smells very malty. Flavors are a bit too sweet. No real direction sweetness a little muddled.. Sticky on the palate. OK, but nothing too special.

fairly mild aroma, copperish color with a quickly disipating head. mild and sour with an acidic hop bite throughout.

On tap at the brewery. Got the history and its more impressive than the beer. A little darker and heavier than I expected. Not as malty as an altbier. Not bad, just not as good as the pale.

Pours with a fluffy semi-loose head with a lighter amber color. The aroma is coppery with a spicy and sweet malty character with some cinnamon thrown in... cool. The flavor is nutty and roasty (roasted nuts?) with some apple. The beer is largely dry but with a nice caramel backbone and just enough hop bitterness to make it remarkably well rounded. This reminds me a bit of the Uerige Classic. and pears, thoroughly enjoyable.
