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.

Nice fluffy cotton head sits atop a moderately carbonated burnt orange body. The aroma is all malt with caramel & toffee dominant. Flavor is sweeter than most. A good drinkable session beer. Solid.

Looked better than it tasted. Beautiful pour. Sweet malty notes and taste, but lacking that little bit of hop balance that this style requires. There are better ambers out there - this one is not the best, but certainly not a bad beer by any means.

Bottle. Pours copper with thin head. Sweet malt aroma. Sweet taste maybe a hint of hops. Not bad, Not Great, Not my thing.

Rather unflavorful to my over hopped palate. But, good balance and pleasant overall. I think it would be better as a summer beverage, and I can tell that a week in the Utah desert would raise this up to a 4.5 or better. It is just a little light to what I have the good fortune to be consuming recently.

Clear copper, thin head. Toasted and caramel malt aroma with a hint of hops. Upfront this tastes sweet but the finish is quick and dry. Decent enough malt flavor but it has a little astringent bite. Bit on the watery side.

This beer pours a good deep amber color into a glass. It has a Bavarian amber taste with a tad bit less hops and a much more smooth character. Finishes extremely clean. If only this was sold here.
