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.

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.

Much better from the tap than the bottle. Impressed with the refreshing nature of this beer. Leaves a nice aftertaste along with a satisfying first taste. A beer I would often drink

One of my all-time favorites. Discovered it on a Princess Cruise/Land Tour of Alaska in 2005. Loved it so much I lugged two cases back to Florida with me. Amber color with lots of caramel and malt, with some faint spice. Very smooth and easy to drink. Love it. Wish I could find it in Florida.

One of the first Ambers I REALLY enjoyed and got me into exploring beer. If you ever get a chance to visit Juneau, visit this brewery

Well this is my first altbier so i dont know what others taste like, but i think this beer is close to perfect as a casual drinking beer. It has a thick and malty, cedar colored body.. with a nice and lasting cream colored head. The smell and taste i got was sugar,honey and toffee. Little bitterness, goes down very smooth and light. Sweet oaky aftertaste, and like everybody says its a very drinkable beer. Since its light, sweet and tasty you will have more than one!!!

Thanks to Skyview for sharing. Pours a nice clear auburn like color. Nice sweet nose of toffee, pear, sweet biscuity malt, and a hint of granny smith apple. Nice balanced flavor that exudes a strong pear like fruity sweetness as well as a light dose of floral hops, banana, and biscuity malt. Nice light floral hoppiness on the finish with a light hint of the fruit. A very solid session beer.

22oz bottle that was amber in color (no surprise right?). The smell was a very nice fruity aroma. I liked it. The taste however was kinda funky and departed from the smell. It was very easy to drink and I thought it would be a decent session beer but I am going to have to drink this a second time to form a good opinion.
