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.

22 oz bottle. Pint glass. Nice color. Not bad, but pretty thin. Hard to believe its ABV over 5.

Amberish/yellow head over foxy-amber beer. Lightly hoppy nose, and sweet cake, dried sultanas. Sweetish, malty, dry malts, falling flat afterwards. Pretty carbonated, medium body at best. Finely sourish finish (but is it intended?). Rather middle-of-the-road beer. Nothing bad, absolutely nothing special. Thanks, CK!

The aroma has both buttery and nutty elements along with vinegar and corn malt. Not my fav. The appearance is amber with a small head. The flavor has nothing bad like the aroma. It’s only slightly sweet it’s mostly malty with some hops to balance. It does however have some of the buttery and nutty qualities. The palate is smooth. Overall I like it, I just dislike the aroma.

deep amber pour with a thin layer of white froth. malts and slight grassy aromas on the nose. easy on the palate with a good malt flavor that finishes with a slight hop bitterness.

12 oz. bottle pour to pint shaker. Slightly hazy nutty brown color with small tan head that quickly dissipates. Light lacing. Not much to the aroma with just a touch of nutty sweetness. Flavor is mild and unoffensive (backhanded compliment). Not bad for a session beer but there are much better choices available.
