Golden Ale. A blonde, lighter bodied beer with a floral aroma and a crisp, hoppy finish that's not bitter. The hop character of Alaskan Pale is due to dry hopping by hand during the fermentation process.

A clean, softly malted body with a hint of citrus overtones, followed by a hop-accented dry, crisp finish.

Alaskan Pale is made from glacier-fed water and a generous blend or European and Pacific Northwest hop varieties and premium two-row pale and specialty malts. Our water originates in the 1,500 square-mile Juneau Ice Field and the more than 90 inches or rainfall we receive each year.

12 oz bottle into English pint. Thanks to brenn79. Nose is sweet and grainy; pretty bland. Pours just a slightly hazy gold hue with a medium head and decent lace. Taste is bland, bland, bland; slightly sweet with no bitterness. Highly carbonated with a grainy aftertaste. Medium bodied. Extremely simple, boring, thirst-quenching sessionable blonde. Definitely not a pale ale in any way.

Pours clear gold with thin white head. The mild aroma is sweet with malts to go along with a dash or two of citrus hops. The taste seems pretty crisp with modest bitter citrus hops riding above a thin layer of sweet malts. Light crisp refreshing brew.

12oz bottle-pours a white head and slightly hazed yellow/gold color. Aroma is light malt, honey, hay, herbal hops. OK, below the PALE in small black print: golden. Aroma fits now. Taste is light malt, honey, hay, herbal/floral hops. Aggressive effervescence. Thanks decaturstevo for sharing.

12oz bottle. Clean, crisp, and middle of the road, a perfect American Golden Ale. Medium bodied, with a dry, sandy hop flavor which balances the pale malt characteristics. Great session beer.

Sample at Alan’s HSC initation. This beer pours a clear golden color with a thin white head that fizzes away quickly. Lightl bready malt and hops in the nose. Light-bodied with flavors of sweet malt and honey, plus some mild hops and spice. The finish is sweet with notes of malt and citrus, and the aftertaste is mildly spiced hops. Overall, the name is misleading on this beer considering the style. Fairly average for what it is.

Bottle. Poured pale amber, almost like a pilsener, with a white head. Not much aroma, but what there is is a nice maltiness. Light malty body with a naartjie note. Dry hop finish. This is low enough in alcohol to be a session beer, or to have at lunch before going back to work.
