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.

Nice amber color with minimal off white head. Balanced bitter vs sweet taste. Fairly refreshing.

Bottle. A drinkable beer. This as a good session beer. It has hints of caramel and leaves a grainy finish. There are hints of toffee and butter. Poor head and fair lacing, not to much for the flavor.

Bottle. Pours a clear golden red body with thin head. Aroma is faint with sweet malt, light hoppiness. Flavor is bitter an a little off - watery. Lightly sugary sweet. Not too bad.

A mainstream amber ale that has a mild body with a creamy head and a hoppy, flavorful taste. With a clean good finish, not dry at all.

Light bronze with small head. Lifeless, lacking character. Stale, cardboardy, boring.

Pours brown, clear, minor head. Very little aroma, what is there is a bit of a roasted malt/caramel quality. Thinnish mouth feel with a caramel quality, clean finish. Nothing exciting.

12oz bottle sampled on 6/17/07 Well it looks pretty, that’s about the best I can say. Almost no aroma, big bubbly foam that doesn’t linger at all, watery body and a finish that was non existent. Am I hallucinating or was this beer better in past years?

Pour was a light amber with no head. Aroma of hops but barely. Taste was watered down, very thin and uninspiring. Some malt and hops mixing around in there, but never quite coming together and not in enough quantity to really matter. I took a shot at this brewer and bought a bunch of their stuff. Can’t wait till the next cookout to get rid of it...I’ll look like a hero bringing "micro beers"
