Alaskan Amber - Alaskan Brewing Company

APPEARANCE: (3) Light mahogany colored. Moderate foam that settles rather fast leaving only small foam islands.

AROMA: (4) Define malty aroma with sweetness notes reminding of molasses. Tiny hints of banana. Second sniff reveals some earthy tones, mushrooms?

TASTE: (2) Rather dry taste with moderate flavors. Surprisingly anonymous.

EXTRA: (3) Interesting to drink beer from Alaska. The water is coming from glaciers outside Juneau.
