Avalanche Amber Ale (Breckenridge Brewery)

Breckenridge Brewery is a brewer that we are still discovering; they are heavily-involved in the art, music, and brewing communities in Colorado.  We've also had a couple of their other beers, which we'll likely review in the future.

Avalanche Amber Ale starts out full-bodied but light and ends with a non-bitter malty aftertaste.  As we would say, it's a "non-commitment" beer that still has a nice flavor--meaning you could have this beer while having a very intellectual conversation or while trying to pick up someone in a bar.  Because of the consistency, I would say this beer would be paired better with lighter flavors.  This amber ale is definitely not a beer that would stand up to bold flavors in red meats or other heavily seasoned foods.

We are going to have a scale of 1 to 5, 1 being beers we would likely not drink again, and 5 being beers we would go out of our way to get.
