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.

0.355l bottle many thanks to Lore. A bit opaque amber body with a thin beige head. Aroma and taste of orange zest, toffee, nuts, burnt sugar, toast, raisins and some apples. Kinda like a doppelbock with lower ABV. Tasty brew.

clear reddish amber colour, medium sized creamy beige-ish ecru head, which lasts for several minutes; aroma of very intensive fruitiness (prune, sour cherry, raspberry, some apple and even grape), some honey and roasted nutty notes; taste is similar to the aroma with some roasted bittery notes; not bad at all

This is my first Alaskan Amber since visiting Alaska several years ago. Offered to me in a bottle by a good friend in Las Vegas, no glass this time. A drink, pretty decent. Your basic amber taste but maybe a bit better. Wheat bread, some caramel, malt, water and grain with a nice small bitterness. Cold is good, colder is better.

Süffiger, süßlich herber Beginn. Weich, spritzig, milde Fruchtnoten. Röstig herber, süßlich würziger Abgang. Nett. 10/11/11/11/13/11

Bottle from SHIG. Cheers ears. Sour berry aroma. Dark amber. Frothy creamy off-white head. Medium sweet. Some underlying bitterness. Rich. Fruit and caramel. Medium bodied. Slick. Fizzy carbonation. Long finish. Rich and sweet rather than saccharine sweet which is fine with me. The kind of lager you'd want to drink on a cold Alaskan night (whatever that means).

Tap @ Dungeness Bay Seafood, Sea-Tac, Terminal S. Pours a clear chestnut amber, small off-white foam atop. Gentle woody, caramelised malt nose. Taste is relatively light, balanced, good caramel shades, nutty moments, balanced malty amber character. Hit the spot waiting for my flight.
