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.

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.

Lithographed Bomber shared at the Butters’ 1500 tasting. Pours a near clear amber with wispy traces of offwhite head. Mild caramel aromas. Same for the flavor with a slightly sourish twinge. Decent amber. Good and cheap.

Pours a fading beige head with a copper body. Aromas of caramel and a little floral. Flavor is the same. Sweet finish.

The reasonably thick mouthfeel is the one saving grace for this otherwise bland amber. Look is sufficiently nice with a golden amber hue and some creamy head. Smell is weak hops over some sweeter smelling characteristics. Taste is nutty, caramel. Not bad, just missing anything to bring it above average. As for if I would buy this again, not likely. It wasn’t a bad drink, just average in most areas.

On draft at the Brew Kettle. Very nice pour of pale amber. Sweet aroma of bread and malts. Flavor was sweet and malty, caramel and a hint of vanilla. Very nice basic session beer.

12oz bottle 8/10/09 (Davidson’s Liquor-Littleton)Pours a hazy light amber with a small off white head. Aroma of malt, caramel, and a little hops. Taste of the same with some dryness on the back end. This medium bodied brew is not bad but not good. Was a lot better when first brewed back in the late 80’s.

nice balanced taste. smooth and drinkable. yet a real malt and hop taste. nice amber color. medium head. no aftertaste. a good all around beer than be enjoyed alone - and in some quantity - or with food. feel tho is under appreciated to a degree. gaining wider distribution these days.
