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.

Pours a nice amber color with reddish hue. Nice balance of malt and hops. I like the alt beer twist.

On draft at SeaTac airport. Amber / reddish pour with a thin head. Taste is caramel, nuts, bread, and vanilla. Smooth finish. Balanced and very good.

Aggy360 (115) - Anchorage/ Vista,CA, Alaska, USA - JUN 19, 2009
Amber with fluffy off white head. Aroma of yeast, sweet malt, fruit, and some musty notes. Taste is same, some earthy tones. Light to medium body, some light bitter notes in the finish. Good, easy to drink, easy to find.

BarZigKin (510) - San Antonio, Texas, USA - OCT 23, 2010
12oz bottle thanks to ericandersnavy. Poured a glowing, dark amber body with a nice off-white head and good lacing. Aromas were roasty, some alcohol and light sweetness. Flavors were malty sweet, lightly hop bitter (smooth) and a very nice caramelized sugar undertone. Medium mouthfeel and a dry finish.

12 oz bottle in pint. Amber brown color with pillow white head. Medium bitterness and carbonation. Thin. Light Chocolate malts with crisp grassy hops. Slightly rough finish with the yeast like an Irish red.

MXD (282) - Gatineau/St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec, CANADA - JUL 26, 2010
Pours clear amber. Mainly malty (caramel, toast) and fruity aroma. Roasted malt even more prominent in the flavour, along with cherries and somewhat grassy hops. Nice body -- too bad the finish was somewhat thin. Really thirst-quenching as well. A pretty good, non-experimental alt.

Medium to full bodied surprise right here. Very interesting, candy like sweetness with a nice clean, dry, yet astringent finish. Nothing complicated, nothing fancy, just a good beer. Extremely easy to drink.
