Jul 24, 2007 Draft at the brewery, stopped on the way to BCTC 07. Dark brown and almost purple colored body, about 50% opaque. Sweet diacetyl nose, with some cherry wood and wood varnish notes as well. Sweet, crisp, oily, buttery. Finish is pasty and lightly hoppy, almost tangy. Very simple beer, needs a lot of work if it really wants to be called altbier.

Jul 23, 2007 Draft @ Golden Avalanche, pre-BCTC beerventure, shared by mj. Thanks, Mike! Pours a clear, medium ruby color; light tan head with decent lacing. Sweet, malty and fruity aroma. Medium, sticky mouthfeel: plenty of sweet malts and red fruits; chewy, without much complexity - mostly straight sugar and toasty malts. Slightly dry, toasted malt and light citrus finish.

Apr 10, 2007 One of the better Golden Avalanche i tried, not all that great though. Fairly smooth, had a bit of a sweet taste to it little bit hoppy toward the end.

Aug 21, 2006 Deep coppery brownish pour with aromas of caramel malt, vinous fruit, almonds, some hops. Tastes caramel malty and nutty up front, with some emerging vinous fruit and even a rauchy smoked element. Finished crisp and smooth. Well done.
