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.

RedSox2004 (749) - Pacific Palisades, California, USA - SEP 14, 2008
UPDATED: NOV 26, 2009 Amber/copper color with a one-finger head that dissipated to a strong film but left minimal lacing. Bisuity malt aroma was strongest, mixed with toasted grains. Biscuits highlighted the taste, also some nuttiness and a touch of chocolate. Somewhat creamy mouthfeel, nice carbonation and a clean, but not dry, aftertaste. Very enjoyable, a nice selection from the grocery store full of macros.

Low head and smell but great mouthfeel and color. The malt is clearly the centerpiece and is quite good. A bit simple but still a solid brew. This seems like the easiest to find Alaskan brew and for good reason, yet it is a bit on the simple side.

jcr (1621) - Jasper, Indiana, USA - AUG 29, 2008
Bottle. Small, off-white head that recedes. Medium amber body. The aroma contains toasted grain, dough. Very little hop aroma. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. Some acidity. The finish remains sweet though the sweetness diminishes. The light bitterness contnues and there is a slight tartness that lingers. Medium body with a watery texture and lively carbonation. Comfortable enough with a subtle, but solid malt body. Beyond that, unimpressive.

wcampbell (721) - Clemson, South Carolina, USA - AUG 27, 2008
Not much going on with this beer. Pretty weak malt flavor without any hops at all. Highly carbonated. Toasty rye bread taste dominates. Lightly sweet, without a trace of bitterness. Watery finish.

Gurst (338) - Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA - AUG 25, 2008
Very malty. Toast, toffee, and a little caramel. Some fruitiness in the end. Not a whole lot of hops taste, but some light citrus maybe toward the back. Good, but unexciting.

achtungpv (170) - Austin, Texas, USA - AUG 25, 2008
Reddish brown color. A bit sweet on top, no bitterness, and soft (no crispness). Good beer for having just one but too sweet for me to drink more in one sitting.

22 oz. bomber, 8/11/08 - Pour light red with orange/amber hues. Foamy white head. Good carb. Smells of apple and slight caramel. Taste is much the same, apple and caramel with mild hop bitter and crispness at the end. Maybe a touch of chocolate in there. Nothing special, but not bad.
