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.

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

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

It has a malty aroma and a pure amber color. It is delicious in a light and pure sense, with no additions.

Bottle poured into a Magic Hat #9 shaker in honor of 09/09/09. Clear orange color, small head. Fairly pleasant smell, some red malts with caramel, but also a grainy scent. Slightly drying upfront taste with a sweeter aftertaste following behind. The sweet malts seem to take over much of the taste here, with the hops providing the dryness. Finish loses some of it’s sweetness, but all around not distasteful.

Pours a dark brown w/ reddish tinge. Foamy off-white head. Sweet caramel malt aroma. Taste is caramel malt, toasted grains, a little nutty, some semi-sweet chocolate and a little bitter-metallic aftertaste. Mouthfeel is a bit on the watery side, but the toasted caramel malt taste makes up for it. Good amber.

Pours hazy copper brown. Smells of nutty fruits and malts. Light. Definitely subtle. Still its refreshing. Worth drinking. Though only as a Bud Light substitute.
