The name of this beer style comes from the German word “alt” meaning “old”. This refers to the aging that alts undergo since they ferment more slowly and at colder temperatures than most ales. Slow fermentation helps condition the flavors in Alaskan Amber, contributing to its overall balance and smoothness.

Drat @ Sahara hotel Las Vegas. Pours copper, white head. Aroma/taste, malty, fruity notes and hops / pine, some light caramel with a bitter finish. Not bad, ending leans toward a caramel mouthfeel with some bitter grains. Not bad, more drinkable than most of the other beers Vegas hotels had to offer.

Nice amber coloured body with a thinnish off-white head. Aroma of malt, a bit of hops, some subtle spices and not much really anything else. Medium-bodied; Malty taste along with some subtle hops, but mostly a cardboardy taste that doesn’t sit well. Aftertaste is short and not so sweet...malt and some hop bitterness, but not much. Overall, definitely a beer worth passing up, but as it was the first time I’ve ever seen it, I wanted to try it at least. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased at BevMo in San Diego (Caramel Mountain), California on 05-November-2006.

bottle - Pours light amber with a thin white head. It has a faint caramel malt aroma. The flavor is also mainly of caramel malt with a light hops and a light body. It’s actually pretty good for what it is.

Pour is a dark brown with a big tan head that stays around for a while. Aroma is all things caramel malts. Not much else comes through. Flavor is again nice deep caramel malts and some light flowery hops follow up after the swallow. A good example of the style.

Bottle. Small, off-white head that recedes. Medium amber body. The aroma contains toasted grain, dough. Very little hop aroma. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. Some acidity. The finish remains sweet though the sweetness diminishes. The light bitterness contnues and there is a slight tartness that lingers. Medium body with a watery texture and lively carbonation. Comfortable enough with a subtle, but solid malt body. Beyond that, unimpressive.
