Alaskan Amber

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

Clear amber color with a small white head. Apple juice and black pepper in the aroma. Appley taste with a hint of caramel and maybe some more black pepper. Simple and light but very good for what it is.

Dark copper color with a decent head. The aromas were mild but fresh malts medium roasted and light sprucy hops. The taste was decent, with a fair blend of hops and malts, not very bitter for my preference and less dry than I prefer. But from what I undertand of the style, it is supposed to be more balanced and have the hops more subdued. So, rating by the style, then I guess it is pretty good rendition.

Tasting was a draft in Anchorage that had a full amber color and nice thick white head that held. Pleasant aroma and very malty taste with a crisp clean finish. Easily had more than one.

Bottle. Malty aroma. Caramel toffe, flavor, slight graininess, strong finish but poor aftertaste. Good, balanced flavor initially but dwindles over time.

Overall good beer - the aroma is fruity, the flavor yeast like and ending on a slightly bitter note. Much better altbier than Pinkus’. A good session beer, and at 5% you can session quite a bit. ON SECOND ANALYSIS: I like this stuff in session. A half yard filled with this stuff goes down very well. The malts really linger on the aftertaste - after the initial bitter goes away.

a delicious amber. at first i didn’t think much, but after a few experiences i’ve re-decided that this is an excellent beer.

had during a trip to alaska. slightly sweet, nutty, with some hops. nicely done for an amber.

First alt beer. Fruity in flavor with nice head. Surprised with how much malt this drink had. Wish I could find this someone on tap, that would be awesome, i’ll be sure to pick this one up again.
