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.

A well-balanced quality amber with established malting, though it has a tendency to be flat. Otherwise a smooth, lightly flavored beer.

7/19/02: Aroma is mildly caramelly and modestly attractive. Color is a nice amber with just an adequate head. Flavor features a mellow maltiness and nicely rounded body, but is decidedly lacking in meaningful hop profile, which finally joins its malty cohort in the finish. With fairly low carbonation, the lack of hop presence really hurts the balance of this brew. This is very smooth and drinkable but just misses the mark a little. 7/25/02: No changes in judgment. This really does have a nice malt foundation, but is relatively one-dimensional--wish it had a little more complexity and balance.

Bottle, poured dark amber with a small and rapidly diminishing head. Carmel malt dominates the aroma, alfalfa and hops also present. Flavor is sweet, slightly spicey with a mild bitter finish. Smooth palate with good carbonation. Not anything extraordinary, just a nice amber ale.

Pours deep red with light brown/tan head. Nose is fairly malty with notes of caramel and toffee. Flavor continues with slightly fruity, malty well-balanced character. Finishes with a clean bitterness.

on tap: looked just like the picture to the left, however i dont think the head was that nice? served way too cold, killing what little nose and flavor this beer has. slightly hop nose and same slight hop/malt flavors. much like a fat tire. but maybe a notch above. somewhat thin. easy to drink and refreshing. expected a little more from this.

Bottle. Nice, A real treat from Alaska. Now, if only the lower 48 would take note of an American tribute. Best enjoyed with friends on an afternoon football game! Bravo!

Pours with an amber/copper hue with a white head that was mostly diminishing after 2 minutes. Aroma of caramel, malts, some nuts, metal, and some very light hoppiness. I really enjoyed this aroma. Flavor has a sweet beginning with some citrus flavoring along with some other fruits. The end is hoppy. Light-Moderate carbonation with a light body. A decent beer, that I will look for again!
