About
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.

12 oz can from my Mother in Law. Best By 100819 stamped on bottom of the can. The pour is a slightly hazed orange golden with a foamy 2 inch white head that is quite lasting, slowly falling with pretty lace. The aroma is herbal yeast, wheat grain, lemon citrus and lemon peel. The taste is orange citrus fruit, grain, coriander, herbal, the wheat grain and finishing with a dry floral. The palate is medium bodied with soft carbonation and unfiltered mouth feel and herbal yeast and lemon peel softly bitter finish. Solid.

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.

8.5/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 9 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 9
Bottle brought back from Alaska - many thanks to Jan! 2017 edition. Pours hazy black with a slowly diminishing, foamy, beige head. Aroma of smoked ham ('Schinken'), beef jerky, black tea, coffee ground, soy, chocolate, dried fig, tobacco leaves. Taste is light to medium malty sweet, restrained chocolate, nuts, pairing nicely with fig & sourish brambleberry; the core is smoky, umami, hints of black olive, ham & jerky, soft bitterness of tobacco & tea, restrained coffee & toast. Dryish, herbal hoppy finish, smoky, more tobacco & chocolate. Medium body, creamy texture, soft carbonation. Very rich & delicate, excellent balance between Smoked & Porter as promised...

5.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 4 Overall 6
355ml bottle. Pours a clear pink-amber with a small, creamy, long lasting, off-white head that laces. Mild aroma of wheat malt and cranberry. Semi-sweet flavour of wheat malt, cranberry and faint spruce in a crisp, dry, slightly tart finish. Light body with a thin, watery texture and soft carbonation. Plain and simple, a little weak.
