Day 226 - Avalanche

My second one from this brewer, and given the first was a vanilla porter, I was willing to put that behind me and give them another shot. Alas, that was all it took to acertain that one really shouldn't drink any more of this beer...

Sadly, the color was a decent amber color, true to name, but the beer just falls flat from there. It has a tinny taste, perhaps inparted from the can, but more likely just a poor mix of malt and hops.

Specs:

Full Name: Avalanche Amber Ale
Brewed By: Breckenridge Brewery of Colorado
From: Denver Co
ABV: like the other, not readily available and who really cares...

So the can says it was first brewed in Breckenridge in 1988. Either moving the brewery to Denver was a bad idea, or this is a can from the original batch. Either way, this is one of the saddest beers I have had, even when counting the fruited ones. There's always tomorrow....

ps. this one isn't worth the time to take the pic and post..
