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.

SHIG (2530) - Osan, SOUTH KOREA - MAR 21, 2011
Bottle: Poured a clear amber with a off white head. Aroma is full of malt. Taste is malt and even a light alcohol burn. Some grit in the finish.

esjaygee (2496) - Oak Creek, Wisconsin, USA - JUN 8, 2009
UPDATED: OCT 9, 2011 Clear copper amber with a thin tan head and minor lacing. Sticky aroma of caramel, malt and light floral hops. Taste of caramel, toffee, malt, not much else. Low carbonation and sort of ho-hum and blah.

Thanks Shawntana. Amber with a quickly dissipating off white head. Aroma of caramel with some mild bready malts and a hint of nuttiness. Taste of caramel malts, mild fruits with a mild hop finish. A touch over carbonated but went down pretty easy.

OhioDad (2491) - Hilliard, Ohio, USA - AUG 6, 2006
12oz bottle via trade with cbkschubert! - Thanks Craig! - Pours amber with a pretty fair offwhite head that stays well but doesn’t lace much. Aroma is caramel malts, and some faint floral hop notes. Flavor is all malts though. Caramel, a touch of chocolate, lots of earthiness, and maybe even a touch of smoke. There is just a kiss of floral hops on the finish but not much. Medium body. Smooth in the mouth. Not bad.

SpringsLicker (2485) - Tennessee, USA - MAY 10, 2006
Clear copper pour with a minimal white head. Some malt in the aroma, some nutty toasty aromas, but overall the aroma is very restrained. Slightly sweet, no real hops here. Some salty metallic flavor in the finish.

jsquire (2461) - St. Marys, Ohio, USA - MAR 7, 2004
Pretty amber color out of the bottle with a small beige head and a slightly roasted malt nose. Some white sugar sweetness with apple juice notes. Faint hop notes keep it from being entirely one dimensional. Okay beer with food.

Burnt Beer Night: Amber Coloring. Small Head. Sweet. Some Malt, But Tasted More Hops. A Little Dry... Good Average Brew

SamGamgee (2451) - down the whirlpool, California, USA - JUN 16, 2008
UPDATED: JUN 19, 2008 12oz bottle. Clear copper with a lasting creamy off-whit head. Malty and fruity aroma with some melon and tea, herbs, and grass balancing. The flavor is toffeeish and sweet with only a marginal grassy hop balance. A little yeasty, with low bitterness. medium to light bodied with fizzy carbonation. Just a little to sweet/not hoppy enough for me, but definitely not unpleasant. (3.2) Rerate: Ya, the sweetness gets a little annoying.

hayduke (2445) - Eureka, California, USA - NOV 15, 2004
Bottle. Nice amber color. Good white head. Complex odors and flavors, with fruits, malts, and hops in good balance. Very nice taste. A far better than average offering.
