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.

Bottled at Mccarrenn. Yellow pour, standard grain and nothing really that special here for a kolsch. OK overall.

12 oz can from Total Wine, Las Vegas, NV. Pours a cloudy gold color with a large, thick white head and excellent retention. Good lacing. Resinous hops aroma. The taste is similar to the aroma, with hoppy flavor up front and some soft bitterness in the short, dry finish. Not as resinous as the aroma. Medium body and medium carbonation. Less bitter than I expected.
