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.

OldGrowth (1775) - North Carolina, USA - AUG 21, 2004
Draft, from mini keg. Good nose, Malty. Apple/grape/carmel toffee. Nice orange amber color. Fruity bitter flavors. Carmel apples come to mind. Creamy smooth mouth feel. Mild hoppiness shows up on the finish. Good beer. Had this at Sandy Beach In Juneau as part of tour on beer cruise with folks from brewery.

GreatLibations (1771) - Last Supper, Arizona, USA - JAN 26, 2006
UPDATED: AUG 24, 2007 Pours amber in color w/ a medium sized, short lived froth. Residual lacing is good. Aromas of pungent malts. Medium nectar w/ ample residual effers. This creates a semi creamy texture. A bright malty character w/ a mild sweetness that finishes refreshingly. Good ballance. Theres a briskness to it that makes it appealing to me. The finish is only mildly bittered.

(bottle) Deep amber color. Head fades immediately. Caramel malt aroma. Flavor is sweet malt with caramel, some nuttiness. A bit lacking in hops for the finish.

DavidP (1745) - Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA - FEB 6, 2006
Bottle. Clear dark amber body, not much head. You know those worthless orange/black taffy-peanut butter candies they give out on halloween? This smells like those alongside crystal malt. Great malt flavor - clean clear sweet caramel and toasted malt finishing with a hint of minerals and grassy hops. Medium body with a ticklish carbonation.

IndianaRed (1727) - Boise, Idaho, USA - JUL 15, 2004
Bottle pours a light amber with a small fizzy head that leaves little lacing. Aroma is a bit sweet and distinctly apple. The slightly fruity sweet flavor is ther as well. Lively carbonation and a dry hoppy finish. Pretty good and light enough to be quite refreshing.

msante79 (1726) - Mount Prospect, Illinois, USA - JUN 21, 2009
Had on tap at BW3 in Pueblo, CO. Pours amber with white head. Aroma is sweet malts, fruit, and some earthyness. Flavor is sweet malts, nuts, caramel, and a bit or yeast and earthyness. Pretty easy drinker. Nothing complex.

topherh (1709) - Kearney, Missouri, USA - FEB 19, 2009
Had this in a casino in Reno. Poured amber with an average off white head. Aroma was all sweet malt. Flavor is more balanced than I expected from the aroma. Nice hop / malt balance .
