Alaskan Pale

Brewed by Alaskan Brewing Co
Style: Golden Ale/Blond Ale
Juneau, Alaska USA

12oz bottle-pours a white head and slightly hazed yellow/gold color. Aroma is light malt, honey, hay, herbal hops. OK, below the PALE in small black print: golden. Aroma fits now. Taste is light malt, honey, hay, herbal/floral hops. Aggressive effervescence. Thanks decaturstevo for sharing.

Color is a bright gold with just a touch of a haze to it. Carbonation is good making a thin white head. Aroma is a light grain scent. Taste is crisp and clean. Starting with a light body it goes down with a crisp feel. Finish is light with the taste of corn and grain then a very mild bitterness. After taste is clean with a faint citrus taste. Its ok for a Golden Ale but they call it a Pale and that made me think it would have a little more hop character to it.

Very nice clear golden color just as advertised. Hoppy, bubblegum smell followed by a crisp hoppiness. Very easy to drink as this is by no means a hop bomb and has a nice malty follow-up, its just nice to see a decently hopped pale ale instead of IPA’s always stealing the spotlight. edit-- after reading other reviews I don’t understand if I got a very fresh sixer or my palate is warped from drinking different styles in one session, it tastes hoppy to me ?!?

Bottle thanks to jake65. Pours a dark clear yellow with a thin quick finger of white foam. Standard blonde ale aroma, lightly fruity, sweet malts. Taste is a bigger pear or apple fruit note over sweet pale malts, light grassy hoppiness and a crisp finish.

12 oz bottle. Poured a clear amber color with a one finger white head. The aroma was mostly floral, with a sweet malt note. The flavor was caramel malt with an earthy finish. This would make for a good session beer. Smooth drinking, not too bitter and nothing offensive at all.

en sea-tac esperando el vuelo. para ser un pale ale normal, bastante mejor que lo que esperaba. me gusto mas que la IPA y la amber. diificil de creer, porque prefiero los otros estilos

Pours light clear amber with a one finger rapidly fading white head. Some scattered lacing. Aroma is very minor caramel and floral hops. Taste is sweet caramel malts with a balanced amount of earthy and citrus hops. Very clean and smooth on the palate. The sessionabilty is outstanding though and I think you could cruise through a sixer in one evening. Well recommended when lighter is desirable. Would also be a great beer for newbies to try craft beer.

Pours a nice and clear gold with a long lasting white head. Aroma of citrus, fruits, lemon, caramel, and hops. Flavor is hoppy and floral. Slightly dry finish. A very nice pale ale.
