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.

vulcanmeister (129) - La Grande, Oregon, USA - NOV 1, 2009
Pours an amber color with a small quickly receding white head. The aroma is malt. Flavor is sweet, malty, with faint bitter hoppy aftertaste. Good mouthfeel, smooth and well balanced. Good brew.

Dmalone102 (223) - Denver, Colorado, USA - JUN 16, 2008
App- Amber to dark orange, it has nice clarity and a tan, creamy head. Aroma- Slight grapefruit from the hops, bready malt aroma. Taste- Malt flavor dominates with hop bitterness at the end. Sourness present, with the taste of Granny Smith apples. Mouthfeel- Tart dryness, not astringent. Very good beer, not as balanced as I would like to see, a little too malty.

kramer (3376) - Sunbury, Pennsylvania, USA - NOV 25, 2005
12 oz bottle. Poured a dark copper, thin off-white head, torrents of rising carbonation. Strong malty nose with perfumy hops in the background. Sweet caramel malt flavor with a lightly bitter finish. Very well balanced. Medium bodied with lively carbonation. Very drinkable nicely balanced Alt. Good intro beer to those new to the sport.

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.

shendrix (478) - Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA - DEC 28, 2006
A nose of honey and cloves with just a bit of roasted nuts in the background. Well balanced and smooth palate of honey, banana, and almonds all frolicking with the malts in this brew. A very good altbier.

JJClark (549) - Knoxville, Tennessee, USA - FEB 21, 2007
On tap while in Seattle. Pours a nice light amber color with a small off white head. Aroma of malt and toffee. Taste is sweet with a hint of spice and caramel, Easy to drink with a smooth finish. Nothing real exciting but worth a try.

Capa (1543) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - JAN 13, 2008
Bright copper with a solid off-white head. malty aroma. Tasted, sweet, crisp fruit, and light hops. Flavor is of a similar profile. Very clean and crisp although not all that exciting. Still, this is an easy to drink and tasty brew that I could stick with for an evening.
