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.

Angeloregon (2054) - Portland, Oregon, USA - SEP 6, 2007
As the name indicates, a true amber. Small white head. Nutty robust malted nose. Slightly bitter but not as much so as most German alts. Sweet with earthy, fruity hints. Finished a little watery but quite nice overall.

Dark brown, head vanished before I carried it back to my table. Great malty flavor, not too hoppy. Very enjoyable beer

CasperQuaffer (142) - Casper, Wyoming, USA - AUG 30, 2007
Toasty malt with slight caramel aroma. Pleasing autumn leaf color tending to fresh brewed ice tea. Flavor is balanced, smooth with a hint of maybe . . . butterscotch. The palate is both fizzy and a bit thick. This is an "old" standby for folks around here and deservedly so.

BelgianBeerGal (2104) - Dayton Area, Ohio, USA - AUG 30, 2007
UPDATED: NOV 15, 2008 Bottle and draft. Nice malty amber beer that is enjoyable with dinner. Clear copper colour but almost non-existant head.
