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.

12 oz. bottle pours hazy yellow with no head, although it’s very carbonated. Little aroma but mostly of yeast. Sour front with tangy citrus middle and a bitter finish. I wasn’t able to taste any differentiation of fruit present in this beer. Watery and soft body with little to no taste. Not a pleasant beer.

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.

Hazy pale golden-yellow , has a small foamy white head that doesn’t last very long, light grainy and grassy aromas. Starts with a light bready and grainy flavor, finishes clean and smooth, light and watery mouthfeel, not much going on here but alright for the style.

Straw yellow color with a tall soapy head that quickly dissipates. Aroma of yeast. Malts and yeast for taste. Crisp, carbonated. Refreshing.
