Description
Alaska has a rich history of brewing. From the explorers of the 1700s through the Gold Rush, many a thirsty Alaskan has been able to enjoy locally made beers.

In 1986, 28-year-olds Marcy and Geoff Larson reignited that tradition when they opened the Alaskan Brewing Company, the 67th independent brewery in the country and the first brewery in Juneau since Prohibition. Alaskan beers reflect many of the same characteristics of beers that were brewed here during the gold rush era. From the historically based Alaskan Amber recipe to alder-smoked malts and Sitka spruce tips, Alaskan beers reflect Juneau’s local brewing history and innovation.

Can. Clear golden pour with a smallish white head. The aroma is straw and some grass. The taste is corn, thyme, minerals and grass in a cracker malt base. Also, I get a metallic element in the taste. The palate is full and viscous. Finishes short and dry with a bit of straw spice. Overall: OK easy drinking pils but not particularly distinguished. .

Bomber. Aroma has notes of bourbon, dark bread, vanilla, syrup, licorice. Pours very dark brown with a thin beige head that falls into a ring quickly. Taste is lightly sweet and moderately bitter with flavors like the aroma. Tastes mostly like a straight impy stout with the adjuncts mostly in the background.

Bottle from Mid Columbia. Very dark brown, near black pour with a thin brown head. The aroma is sweet and roasty, fairly mild. Tastes mostly of roasted malt, a little cocoa, and the floral earthy sweetness from the birch syrup or honey. Unfortunately the adjuncts come as a distraction to an otherwise non-descript stout. Just OK.
