Breckenridge Avalance Ale

I'm a sucker for variety boxes, and the one I picked up from Breckenridge has been fairly decent so far.  Let's see if their Avalance holds up:

Vittles:
American Amber Ale
4.4% abv
19 IBU

Score:
Appearance: 7/10
Aroma: 19/25
Taste: 32/40
Mouthfeel: 7/10
Style: 4/5
Drinkability: 7/10
Overall: 76/100

Impression:
Not as impressive of a pour as the Lucky U IPA, but it did leave a fair amount of lacing as it went.  The aroma holds mostly toasted grains, caramel, and toffee, with a twinge of bitterness in the background.  The flavors are a little more pronounced on the tongue, with more biscuity notes coming through, but it still isn't very impressive in the flavor department.  It has a decent body, and it feels smooth and creamy, with a slightly dry finish.  I'm glad I tried this one, but I won't be going out of my way to have it again.

Cheers!
