22 oz bottle poured into a Hinterland stange.
5.3% ABV,m 70913 on label.

A - Two fingers of rich, foamy white head rise up from a moderate pour but then lower to a thick pile with no lace rather quickly. The beer is a clear and well-carbonated deep golden color and leaves plenty of lace clinging to the glass.

S - The light aroma is crisp with a faint grainy smell and dry straw that merges with a pale malty, light floral hoppy nose. A tiny touch of white grape sweetens up the finish of this hybrid-style beer.

T - Smooth pale malts still have that touch of graininess up front that quickly changes to a fuller bready flavor with a decent helping of light noble hops which impart some floral characteristics mid-sip. Delicate notes of white grape and red apple trail off on the finish of this beer.

M - Crisp and refreshing, Alaskan Summer is a good summer beer with a smooth entry, a light carbonation tickle and a fairly dry finish. The body is a little bigger than normal for a Kölsch but it still drinks nicely.

O - Alaskan Summer is a very drinkable beer but it's body is a little more rich for a Kölsch than I'd like, only hindering it's inherent crispness. The simplistic bready malt and undertones of fruit work very well though.
