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.

Dark amber color......thick, pillowy head. Slightly sweet malt aroma. Light malt flavor in the front......slightly crisp mouthfeel. Somewhat of a bitter back, though with a very clean finish for the style.

An okay amber, maybe it gets a igher rating for nostalgia. Fruity nose, mellow taste, easy to drink.

Thought this was an ok Amber. It didn’t have the weird aftertaste that alot of ambers seem to but it also didnt have a great look or overwhelming flavor.

Pours a deep amberish copper with a small bubbly off-white head that dissipated to a ring fairly quickly, leaving almost no lacing. The aroma is a mix of generic grains and sweet bready malts. The taste was big on the sweet malts with a sourish, almost metallic finish. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with decent carbonation with the lingering sourness being a little off-putting. This is a fair amber, but not one that I would buy again.

12oz bottle. Pours a sparkling copper/amber, thin white head. Aroma is a bit nutty, lots of bread. Fruity Breckenridge ale yeast bread smell. Flavor is a crisp bittereness with a bread malt. A light roast, light nut, and light caramel malt flavor notes. Very clean and refreshing. I could drink this beer every day. the perfect session. I wonder if this is a single hop beer, it seems so simple. So enjoyable.

Pours clear light amber brown color with slight bubbly manilla head. Aroma sweet thin caramel corn mix with slight nuttiness. Flavor bit watery with some caramel and nuttines. Also slight earthy hop finish. Overall, average.
