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.

Bomber shared with Tyler Durder, tasted alongside Broken Rake. This came across as watery and uni-dimensional by comparison. Just mediocre.

On tap at the Denver location, bright amber color, with an off-white head, bready dough, yeasty, toasted malt nose, with a hint of toffee, slight nutty, with a light caramelized aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a crisp fruity, toasted malt character, with a mild flowery hop citrusy, hint of buttery nuttiness, leading towards a toasty, fruity, mild hop bittering finish.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a thin head, some lacing, over an orangish clear body....nose of roasted sweetish malts, rather mild in intensity....tastes of mild malt sweetness, mild hops, really rather bland....mouth feel is very light, with foamy carbonation. This brewery does make some really beers and I wonder if this represents one of their early attempts. Tastes have changed.

22 oz bottle split between two pints poured medium brown with a small white head. Light caramel aroma. Thin body was slightly skunky/cabbage like. Maybe a bad bottle, I hope.

Poured a nice amber with a substantial head. Nothing spectacular to the aroma or to the flavor, but it was not bad.

Sour, flat, thin awful. Perhaps this had gone bad? The one that I had out of a bottle from my reliable cool bottle store was just awful, I poured it out.

Clear amber pour with nice white head. Light roast and some hops on the nose. Flavor has a touch of roasted malt with a decent hint of hops. Body is medium with a clean dry finish.
