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.

Draft shaker at EvenFlow, Geneva. Damn, but this is a fine beer! Draft is a nice bright brown color, with a half-finger spongy head. Smell brings up nice deep malts, caramel with a bit of chocolate, and a light German noble hop nose. The taste shows its "alt" character up front. Roasty but mellowed malts. I'm thinking there's a bit of oats here for smoothness, but I see no evidence otherwise. The maltiness also makes this feel a little higher in alcohol than its "average" abv. No "spice," just caramel again, and a bit of cocoa. Hops are fully in balance, with perhaps a sidecar of Cascades to make it interesting.

12oz bottle from Raven Cafe, Prescott, AZ. A dark amber colour with a tight cream head; sweet malt aroma; taste of fruity malts and caramel; and a lingering malty finish. A mellow and pleasant amber ale.

Can at airplane. The color is clear mahogany with a light beige head. A little careful and malty aroma of bread, wood, grass and some dried fruit and acetone. Sweet and malty flavor with dried fruit, rye bread, leather, heather honey and grass in a dry ending. Has a slick mouth feel, medium body and a light to medium bitterness. A malty and fine altbier with a nice bitterness.
