COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Our flagship beer is based on a turn-of-the-century recipe that quenched the thirst of miners during the Klondike Gold Rush. Smooth and richly malty, this altbier goes well with any meal.

Elwood (1834) - Between a rock and a hard place, Virginia, USA - OCT 26, 2010
Serving: 12 oz. bottle.
Aroma: The nose is malty with a slight toasted note and some caramel.
Appearance: It pours a nice amber color with a frothy, off-white head. There is decent head retention.
Taste: The flavor favors the malt with some bread and caramel. It’s leans to the sweet side, but there is enough grassy hops to provide some balance.
Palate: Medium bodied with average carbonation and a short to medium, slightly sweet finish.
Overall: Not a bad session brew and a pretty decent amber. Definitely worth drinking.

BarZigKin (510) - San Antonio, Texas, USA - OCT 23, 2010
12oz bottle thanks to ericandersnavy. Poured a glowing, dark amber body with a nice off-white head and good lacing. Aromas were roasty, some alcohol and light sweetness. Flavors were malty sweet, lightly hop bitter (smooth) and a very nice caramelized sugar undertone. Medium mouthfeel and a dry finish.

theOptimator (210) - Sacramento, California, USA - OCT 2, 2010
UPDATED: DEC 8, 2011 Mild maltyness. Smells like a light vienna lager. Appearance is a clear copper color. Off white small head, big bubbles. Taste is malt forward. Mild caramel and maybe a hint of roast/chocolate. Almost sweet. Some smooth bitterness present but fairly mild. Palate is light+. Crisp and refreshing. I really enjoy this one as a drinker. Great style that is hard to find.

Strangebrewer (496) - Chatham, Ontario, CANADA - SEP 25, 2010
bottle. Poured clear copper with a thin fizzy head. Malty aroma with caramel notes. Medium, bready mouthfeel. Carbonation is a little prickly and leaves a dry finish. Flavour of caramel malt and a touch of earthy hops.

RobertDale (830) - Lansing, Kansas, USA - SEP 23, 2010
12 ounce bottle. Pours a nice clear amber (of course) with a decent biege head. Aroma of sweet malt and caramel. Tastes very similar, very smooth, just a touch of hops. Good beer.

muteprint (176) - Olympia, Washington, USA - SEP 19, 2010
22 oz bottle. Amber in color with a thick puffy head. Aroma is of cherry and caramel malts. The taste is similar in quality, seems to be a very sweet beer with a long cherry malt finish. Alaskan amber is a well balancer brew but the sweet cherry malts simply do not impress my tastes.
