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.

MrRomero (1959) - Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA - FEB 18, 2006
Bottle: poured clear amber with a small off white head. Light fruit and hop aroma. Good clean flavor. Light notes of fruit with just a touch of hops and light sweetness. Very easy drinking. Good beer.

fordest (1954) - Santee/San Diego, California, USA - OCT 23, 2005
12 oz bottle. Pours an amberish amber, with a decent head that didn’t last long. Aromas were mostly malty and a decent hop character in the flavor. Slightly bitter finish. OK beer.

Kevin (1951) - Colorado, USA - JAN 16, 2005
ruby brown with a large light brown creamy head. sweet malt nose that doesn’t give a hint of hops. bubblegum flavor. this is very malty with a lingering candy finish. there is a slight tartness in there that is a great counter point to this sugary sweetness.

ABUSEDGOAT (1937) - California, USA - NOV 3, 2006
tap: clear amber. Aroma is malty with notes of bread, caramel and a hint of hops. Flavor is not really like the other Altbiers I’ve had. Very carbonated mouthfeel, doesn’t really have that slippery texture. A decent beer, but came off as flawed.

SuperDave (1934) - Beautiful Sunny Mesa, Arizona, USA - JAN 19, 2008
Pours a nice bright amber color with a creamy medium size head. Great aroma of caramel and light hops. Sweet malty taste, with nicely balanced malt flavors. A good solid amber.

BOLTZ7555 (1909) - Phoenix, Arizona, USA - MAR 15, 2008
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.

12oz bottle from The Grapevine
Appearance: Clear amber with a small beige head and some lacing
Aroma: Toasted malts, caramel and nutty
Taste: Caramel, nutty with some bitterness
Ok but I wouldn’t search for this one again

stegosaurus (1882) - Levittown, Pennsylvania, USA - JUL 28, 2006
Bottle sampled with beerded_one through his west coast connection. Pours orange\brown with a decent sized off white head. Aroma of caramel malts, citrus, and brown sugar. Flavor is sweet, caramel, brown sugar, citrus,goes down thin, but a good brew.
