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.

Great looking beer. Pours a nice, cloudy amber with almost no head. Light, yet odd aroma that I can’t determine, that is also present in their Trademark Pale Ale. Flavor it also light and overly sweet, with almost none of the bittering indicated in their description. Mouth feel is average, but not unexpected in an amber. Overall its okay, but not a fridge stocker.

22 oz bottle split between two pints poured medium brown with a small white head. Light caramel aroma. Thin body was slightly skunky/cabbage like. Maybe a bad bottle, I hope.

Poured a nice amber with a substantial head. Nothing spectacular to the aroma or to the flavor, but it was not bad.

Sour, flat, thin awful. Perhaps this had gone bad? The one that I had out of a bottle from my reliable cool bottle store was just awful, I poured it out.

Clear amber pour with nice white head. Light roast and some hops on the nose. Flavor has a touch of roasted malt with a decent hint of hops. Body is medium with a clean dry finish.
