For years local air taxis have ferried mountain climbers to the base camp on the south side of Denali, flown flight seeing tours over “The High One,” and dropped off backpackers and other outdoor enthusiasts in all corners of the Alaska backcountry. Denali Brewing Company draws the inspiration for its red ale from Talkeetna’s rich aviation history. Brewed with five choice American and European malts and just enough hops for balance, we hope you find Single Engine Red a suitable compliment to your next Alaskan adventure, whether in the air or on the ground.

Pours a semi-dark red and leaves a brown/red colored body, half finger white foamy head that dies within about thirty seconds, some light lacing that slides into the body; the aroma has caramel malts coming through in a bland sort of way, shallow earthiness to it; the flavor is mainly sweet through the caramel malts, caramel aftertaste, dry finish; its pretty easy on the palate and is somewhat sessionable, carbonation is somewhat smooth for the style and good to me; overall, not a bad American Red/Amber ale, though it could be construed as an Irish Red because of the lack of hops, still acceptable to have again, though I may not seek out

Rich ruby and deep amber coloured body with a bright almost violet tint and a large, seven centimetre tall tan head, rather billowy. Aroma of malt, caramel and a hint of light spices, all with a good yeast nose. Medium-bodied; Deep caramel and sweet flavour with a bit of raisins, figs and a little earthy malt note with toffee. Aftertaste shows a touch of spices, but the main flavour revolves around the good malt, strong sweetness from pit fruits and raisins and a little spice kick at the very end. Overall, a good earthy and rather sweet beer with a lot of caramel notes and hints of spices and earthy flavours. Great to try,and the can makes it that much better, especially from the last frontier. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from La Bodega in Anchorage, Alaska on 23-May-2013 for US$1.70 sampled at home in Washington a few hours before leaving again for Alaska on 03-October-2013.

Draft: Poured a coppery amber with an off white head. Aroma is nice fruits and caramel malts. Taste is somewhat sweet with caramel malt and yeasty, finished with a nice fresh grain.
