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.

Bottle, bomber: Nice orange/amber color with a moderately slow diminishing off white head, decent carbonation. Aromas were ligtht and sweet, caramel mostly. Flavor was a slightly watered down caramel and more bitterness than I expected from the hops. Fiinishes weak with hops and water.

Bomber from Brad. Pours a semi dark orange/copper color with a avg white head. Nose is caramel and sweet, with some light hops. Taste is sweet caramel with some bitterness in the end.

Medium head light color. Taste a little sweet with a bit of a bitter finish. It was a hot summer day and I drank a big bottle outside on the porch. It is a light brew so it is passable for that but not much more.

Had this on draft at the Red Carpet Club at Denver International Airport. Clear copper color with a slim, very slim head. Faint aroma. Some malt, and a hint of caramel. Strong malt presence. Bit of sourness and bitterness as well. Overall, not too bad of a brew. Definitely worth trying though.

Bottled. U.S. Beer #12 of 31 for <a href=http://www.americanbeermonth.com>American Beer Month! A rather pale, frothy pour. This one has a bit of unwelcome sourness to it. With the glass full, it’s more yellow than amber. The taste is more like a weak SNPA.
Re-rated from second bottle, 8/25/05. Well, I poured out a foamy glass, set the bottle down gently and watched it froth over. Same sourness. At least I can see it has a decent amber color, but way too many bubbles rising up the glass. There’s no notch in the "Bottled on: along the side, but perhaps it’s an old bottle.

Slightly soapy smelling. Hazy color, hazy taste, bitter sour palate. I remember having this on Tap and liking it. In the bottle it is not so good really...

An average amber ale that works as a light-fare summer swill. Nice color. Modest head. Nothing too complex on the tongue. $4.99 for a longneck six is cool. Maybe a good introductory amber ale for the Bud people?

Virtually no head and very little carbonation in my bottle. Increased in bitterness as the beer went on.
