Alaskan Brewing Company
Microbrewery
in Juneau,
Alaska,
United States 🇺🇸
Associated Venue: Alaskan Brewing Company
Established in 1986
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.

Bottle pours a slightly hazy light orange/amber with a small quick off white head. Thin sheeting lacing. Aroma is of pale malts and light citrusy hops. Not very big of either. Flavor is plain and a "hint" of citrus overtones is right. Very tame but pleasant. Just what I wanted after coming in from working in a hot garage. Soft carbonation and a fairly light feel.

Caramelly malt nose, with a tiny bit of banana esters in the background. Dark amber with a medium yellow head; Flavor is like a caramel banana, with some light chocolate in the background.

Clear copper pour with a minimal white head. Some malt in the aroma, some nutty toasty aromas, but overall the aroma is very restrained. Slightly sweet, no real hops here. Some salty metallic flavor in the finish.

A nice ale with hints of citrus, malts, caramels, and something that was bittersweet. Could have been the spruce, but not quite sure. The orange/amber color is a bit deceiving, it tastes darker. Decent brew, but not outstanding.

Crisp hoppiness defines this brew. Citrus, floral tones, and malts are also present. A nice balance throughout with a solid hop finish.

Golden yellow in color, white head is gone quickly. Tastes of citrus, grain, and mild hops. Fairly plain in my opinion. Alaskan makes a better beer than this...

Pale amber-gold, fully clear; with a medium, just off-white head. Bit of iodium nose, seaweed, pale malts, peanuts. High restsweetness, high grain level. I think "crisp" is the word, with means usually not enough hops, and often adjuncts; There’s hops here, but they are not really assertive. Restsugars give lots of slickness, nearly cloying. Not their best offering IMO.
