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.

Poured from the bottle into a double-walled pint glass. Pour produced a clear amber body topped by a thick head of yellow-white foam. Aroma is difficult to pick out, though malts are dominant. Texture was watery, with a slick touch in the lips. Bittersweet in taste, there isn’t much else to this ale except a slight metallic aftertaste. Not offensive, though nothing to write home about either.

A pointless drink as I never really tasted anything at all. Even the ambers I don’t like have some kind of malt character. This was like a tannish lager, except not even really hateable. Just there. Very odd.

Medium amber color. Aroma is malty. Head disappeared quickly. Taste is caramel malts. Nothing great, nothing bad.

Pour is (drum roll please) amber with a foamy white head that goes quickly. Aroma and flavor are pretty much all malt, with just a hint of fruit and hops. Nicely carbonated and refreshing, just nothing to get excited about.

An okay amber, maybe it gets a igher rating for nostalgia. Fruity nose, mellow taste, easy to drink.

Thought this was an ok Amber. It didn’t have the weird aftertaste that alot of ambers seem to but it also didnt have a great look or overwhelming flavor.

Pours a deep amberish copper with a small bubbly off-white head that dissipated to a ring fairly quickly, leaving almost no lacing. The aroma is a mix of generic grains and sweet bready malts. The taste was big on the sweet malts with a sourish, almost metallic finish. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with decent carbonation with the lingering sourness being a little off-putting. This is a fair amber, but not one that I would buy again.

12oz bottle. Pours a sparkling copper/amber, thin white head. Aroma is a bit nutty, lots of bread. Fruity Breckenridge ale yeast bread smell. Flavor is a crisp bittereness with a bread malt. A light roast, light nut, and light caramel malt flavor notes. Very clean and refreshing. I could drink this beer every day. the perfect session. I wonder if this is a single hop beer, it seems so simple. So enjoyable.
