On tap in the Kutztown tavern. Amber copper pour with small cream foam head. Light bread aroma with a malt grain palate. Nice mix grains/earth blend, good drinker but missing the fruit?.

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.

Oct 24, 2005 Appears a brown toned amber with a beige head that retains for a long time before fading into a film and light collar. Tons of lacing left all over the glass.
Smell is of caramel and toffee with some butter notes and hops.
Taste is of the same aromas.
Mouthfeel is as smooth as can be. There is a mild sweetness and nuttiness that goes along with this. Very surprising brew from these guys.

Oct 3, 2005 on tap-pours a light tan head. Color is amber. Aroma-balanced malt, hop. This one presents the nicest of this breweries offerings, I’m hopeful… Taste-this does come across with the malt and hops balanced, but the flavor is muddled. Could some of these been that the current batches were off of their regular quality? Or, the glasses the beers were poured into were skunky? Either way, disappointed yet again.
