Commercial Description:
Tommyknockers slipped into the mining camps in the 1800's with the discovery of gold to the West. The majestic Rocky Mountains have inspired the cool refreshing taste of Alpine Glacier Lager. As clean and fresh as the rushing water from icy streams and as brisk as a climb up a frozen glacier, this brew contains the finest ingredients in the Tommyknocker tradition.

Blah. If this is a premium lager, I’d hate to see their regular one. Aroma was so so. Grass and sourdough. Pour was a light yellow with a 3 finger white head. No bubbles, though. Taste was sourdough, grass and a hint of lemon but with hardly any carbonation. With more carbonation this would be a lot better.

Pours a hazy straw into the glass, with a thin fizzy suds head that diminishes quickly and leaves trace lace. The nose is a bit reminiscent of a wheat brew, with some slight yeast and maybe some interlacing corn. Pale malts upfront, with a lackluster grain and biscuit-hop finish (that might introduce a few light spices). The mouthfeel is seltzery and a tad thin. Not a whole lot going on here, honestly.

12oz bottle from natedoggkc. Served in a pils glass. Aroma is lighty kilned malt with a bit of a cracker, and a slight earthiness, and a touch of sourness. The flavor is mostly saltine cracker and very light earthy/spiciness. A little bit of sour in the taste too. A nice lawnmower beer, nothing more, but presentable and truly thirst quenching. Seems adjunct free.

This lager pours a clear golden color with a very generous white head. The flavors leaves a little sour note in the aftertaste and the finish. Otherwise, it’s a fairly tasty beer. The aroma leaves a little to be desired, with only a little subtle hint of hops and flowers. The body is pretty smooth and easy drinking. This is really nothing to write home about, although it’s more drinkable than a Yuengling Lager or a BMC offering.

Bottle. Thin yeasy nose. Cloudy yellow color. Crisp grassy flavor with sour notes in the finish. Lovely little session lager, though boring.

Light spicy aroma. Mildly hazy golden color with a large white head. Malty beginning with a slightly sour finish.
