Breckenridge Avalanche Amber

Brewed by Breckenridge Brewery
Style: Amber Ale
Denver, Colorado USA

12 oz bottle, via Secret Santa PhillyBeer2112. Pours a clear amber colored body under a fizzy and foamy two finger bone white head. Alot of visible carbonation. Aroma is full of toasted malt with a little huskiness and a light hoppiness. Flavor is of slightly sweet toasted malt up front that fades to a lightly bitter finish. Mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with active fizzy carbonation. This was pretty run of the mill for an Amber. The flavor was a little husky though.

pours amber with almost no head. lightly sweet malty aroma. flavors are pretty light, a little carmel malty, a hint of hops. light mouthfeel, watery, blah, it’s better than a macro.

From a 22 oz. brown bomber bottle with no bottled/freshness date. Poured a clear amber with a small foamy off-white head that settled into a thin lacing. Had a nose of toasted nutty grains with a light fruitiness. Semi-crisp, watery and thin medium bodied mouthfeel, light carbonation overall. Nutty grains and metallic malts with soft sour fruitiness, watery tasting overall, a very subtle citric hop flavor and a dryish mix of toasted and roasted malts, because of taste, below average drinkability. I wasn’t too impressed with amber ale from Breckenridge, I won’t be buying this again.

Slight Caramel flavor, otherwise watery, bland. Drinkable on a hot day, easy to down, but little character.

Pours caramel colored with a small head and a little lacing. Smells like super sweet syrupy malt. Not much flavor, a liitle bit of caramel comes through. Watery mouth feel, easy to drink.

Sweet syrupy aroma, smells very heavy. The body is a pleasant middle of the road amber. The slight yellowish head faded quick. The beer is medium bodied, the hop flavor is not overpowering, the finish is clean and quick. There is not much in the way of malt flavor. Not a bad beer, good for warm weather.

Bottled six. It is an "anytime beer"..probably a good sports event drinking beer. Sweet smell. New penny look to it. I agree with some that this beer would attract a wide variety of beer drinkers in that it tastes a bit generic. Still a solid refreshing beer.

Had a 2 ounce glass of this draft as part of a 6 beer sampler at the brewery. Amber color with thin white head, and little lacing. Finish was somewhat metallic. Not the best of the lot, and in fact, probably the one I enjoyed the least of the 6.
