Damn, Alaskan Winter is good.
I used to, probably about age 20-21, really like Alaskan Pale, and to a lesser degree, Alaskan Amber. But I never see the Pale anymore, and ambers, on the whole, piss me off with their sweetness.
But one thing that brewery can seriously rock is the winter brew. Alaskan Winter has a strong, smoky mouth taste with a quick finish; quite marvelous. There are hints of fruit, without being overly sweet. very nice.
Also added to my aresenal tonight: Coppola Merlot.
I should link to that (as I should have to the Alaskan brews) but JFGI.
I love a nice, dry merlot. And dry, when not because of poor composition, but instead because of quality execution, is wonderful. word.
cumbia, cumbia….
