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.

A hazy amber beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet and lightly hopped, while the flavor is boring with light notes of berries, leading to a dry end.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Pours slightly hazy amber with a small, white head. Unpleasant vegetable aroma. Thin and watery body with a touch of caramel. Not sure if this is intended this way, but it’s definitely unclean and inharmonious. 170406

This stuff is quite widely distributed. Why? I know there are much more deserving beers in Colorado.

Hazy amber color. Smells like a fart. Thin mouthfeel without anything to part it from water.

Clear light copper with small off-white head. Aroma is medium sweet, floral, some caramel, some spice. Taste is moderately sweet, floral, spicy, some caramel, finishes with decent earthiness. Medium body. A bit oversweetened, but this is a nice beer.
