I was at the store and saw that they still had Alaskan Summer Ale and it was on sale, so I picked up the sixer. I don't know if they were trying to get rid of it, but it was in the back of the refrigerator case so I figured it was still in good condition. It's a kolsch style. I poured one and I have to say tat is is a fantastic beer. A gold color and perfectly balanced. A little hop aroma with a hint of grain. Bitter, but not overly hoppy, clean and crisp, light and everything a kolsch should be. This beer is the goal the next time I make a kolsch.
 
Now I wish it wasn't 8:00am here and cold.

If it was 3pm and hot, I'd be on a mission to drink something like that. I'd actually go for something a little chilled as well.
 
I'm digging up an old thread.. Did anyone ever find a good recipe for a clone of this? No search came up with it..
