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.

Bottle as pictured. A buck and a half at vintage. Ever so slight orange hue on clear pale. Taste is simply mild cranberry background on mild beer. Nothing special, typical fruit beer. Very good co2 tho. Metallic aroma. Not bad. Finishes with a tad of that mom's slaggy permanent hair treatment. Hides its alky content fairly well.

12 oz bottle from a variety pack. Aroma is floral, Smarties, alcohol. Pours mostly clear golden with a thick bone-white head with excellent retention, leaving curtains of lace. Taste has a light to moderate candy sweetness, light to moderate bitterness, and a touch of savory. A bit of an atypical IPA, with no real fruitiness or pine flavors here. Definitely not what anyone is doing right now, I'll give them that. A bit weird in that regard, but it's not bad.

Bottle from a mix pack from Total Wine in Folsom, CA. Pours bright copper with a foamy off-white head. Aroma is citrus with pale stone fruit and a touch of slightly roasty malt. Med body or so. Flavor is citrus/pine, roasty malt, and following pale stone fruits. Could be peach. Rather tasty stuff.

Bottle from a mix pack from Total Wine in Folsom, CA. Pours clear dark red cherry color with a slightly pinkish foamy head. Sweet/tart cherry aroma. Approaching medium body. Flavor is oh so lightly tart cherry. Sour ale fans will be disappointed, likely. It's an ok flavor. Lake beer.

Super deep and dark brown coloured body with a dense, three to four centimetre tall pure deep brown head that stays afloat for quite a while. Aroma of anise, pure black licorice, deep roasted oatmeal, almost burnt, with a lot of caramelised sugars, some light mushrooms and meatiness and ending with a touch of pungency from permanent marker - yum! Full-bodied; Deep robust roasted malt, oatmeal and some specialty grains in the mix with a deep pungent bitterness from the malts, but also from the alcohol and caramelised/burnt sugars, that finishes with some licorice and star anise flavours. Aftertaste shows the roasted malt, a lot of pungency and astringent flavours, some peanuts and more oatmeal and ending with a lot of alcohol warmth. Overall, a quite strong and underwhelming beer that shows way too much burnt malts and oatmeal with a lot of astringent and pungent flavours and not enough softer, more complex notes - there was no oak, vanilla, caster sugar or pitted fruits noticeable at all. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from BevMo! in Vacaville, California on 10-March-2019 for US$9,49 sampled in my hotel room in Fairfield, California on 13-March-2019.

Saturday 9th March 2019, draft in the Beach Hut Deli, Mission Viejo. Thin white head on a golden body, my 16 oz came in a 'Bells' badged sleeve glass. Malts first in the aroma and taste, followed by a mild piney (spruce I guess) nose and flavour. Liked it.

On Tap, black witha thin tan ring of bubbles. Lots of clean dark orast, some hints of purple grapes and maybe raisons or prunes and licorice. Smoky and a loot wood at the end. Sme ABV burn as well. Good
