Commercial Description:
Subtlety. That's what makes our Avalanche amber ale such a treat. We blend pale and caramel malts -- and just a kiss of bittering hops -- to create a refreshing-but-flavorful, any-time beer. Aromas of pale grains, a semi-sweet middle and a clean-as-Colorado-snow finish make this our best-selling beer.

Serving: 12 oz. bottle. Appearance: Clear amber color with a small, foamy, white head. Aroma: A little bit of light caramel, honey, and some fruit notes. Flavor: A bit light in the taste department with notes of caramel, pale malt sweetness, and not much else. Palate: Medium carbonation with a medium mouthfeel and a medium-short finish. Overall: A very forgettable Amber Ale. Not recommended.

Bottle courtesy of jbye. Pours orange with a touch of haze and a slight white head. Earthy hops, light malt. On the thin side of medium, a bit empty with a touch of cardboard. Finishes up with a faint bitterness.

Nose is freshly mown lawn and honey. Very sweet palate, not enough of a hop presence for me. Appearance is clear orange. Mediocre.

A decent amber ale. Nothing really stands out about this beer. That is both good and bad. It is drinkable but not necessarily memorable.

On tap at the Ale House in Grand Junction, CO. A clear amber with a small white head. A nondescript amber ale; sweet malts and caramel. Easy and decent. A smooth a nice mouthfeel.

Bottle from Cavie. There was a faint musty aroma. There was little to no flavor other than a brief sweetness.
