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.

12 oz bottle. Date code not notched on label.

Very light for an amber. Not really amber, but dark golden.

Aroma is sweet, sugar and caramel.

Flavor is light and sweet. Caramel malt, light grains touch of sugar. No hops detected.

Amber light?

Bottle - as golden or pale an amber as I believe I’ve seen. Very nice, creamy beige head. Sweet crystal malt aroma. Mild flavor - very sweet and a bit grainy. Very few hops detectable. Fairly full-bodied for the style. Decent, but not great.

Not the best beer I’ve ever had, but for $8 a 12 pack (dicount bin)I can’t complain. Nothing overpowering nice aroma, light head.

Pours a nice copper with decent aroma. However, the first sip sets the tone for what is a very weak, watery effort. Double the flavor, and you would have a good drink. As it is, it leaves you shaking your head about what could be.

Pours a nice orangish red with minimal head. Not crazy about the "biscuit" aroma. Pretty much a middle of the road not all that amazing beer.

Pours a very pale amber with a wispy thin head. No lacing to speak of. Smells of biscuity malt and herbal, tea-like hops. Very biscuity tasting malt, lightly fruity finished with light herbal hops. But it’s the malt that you taste in the finish and aftertaste, Lightly sweet mouth. This is decent, I like the biscuity character but something doesn’t mesh well here. Above average but little else.

I thought this beer to be a drinkable but unremarkable amber ale marked by a biscuity taste with sour undertones. It pours an attractive deep red color, with minimal head which quickly disappeared. Aroma is a very mild caramel malt hop flavor. Taste was a blend of maltiness and alcohol at first followed by a lot of biscuity flavor with mild sourness and oakiness in the finish, which I felt in the bottom/back of my mouth. Mouthfeel is a bit harsh. This beer is rather drinkable, but doesn’t have a lot of very distinguishing qualities.
