Alpine Lager

Horrific. I could only drink a few sips. Dry, crispy, watery and extremely fizzy. Drink verrrry cold or not at all.

The beer pours golden with notes of sweet malt and some light hops. The flavor is clean and crisp with nice notes of hops at the finish.

Average no great thing, aroma is poor, clear golden color, aftertaste bitter.

12 ounce can (the way God intended beer to be stored) from New Brunswick Liquor Corporation on King Street, Saint John, New Brunswick (May 2007), served immediately out of the fridge in a Duvel glass, and why the Hell not? This has got an enormous, actually quite stable smooth, fine-bubbled white head which sits atop a crystal-clear pale but dirty gold body; the head actually laces as it disappears so it gets a decent mark there, dadgummit.....well it smells like pretty much nothing, maybe some soap and sweat? or maybe that’s just me sweltering in the unseasonable warmth.....I could make up a whole bunch of fancy words to describe the complete lack of character I find when tasting it, I could go on about how it’s lacking in this malt or that hops, I could talk about force-carbonation and filtering.....but I’ll just say one word: saccharine.....finishes, oh do I have to use the word finish? can’t this experience just go on and on and on? No I guess not....metallic and dull, sweet and fake. OK I’ve done my part, I guess.

This lager is very refreshing. Great almost floral aftertaste that is very drinkable. Has a nice yellow color. The body is on the light side but has enough substance to give it a distinct charactor. One of my personal favorites.
