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.

12oz bottle into a pint glass. Don’t remember much about this beer, as it was awhile back and I didn’t take very good notes - but it didn’t blow me away.

Pours hazy pale gold with a tall, chunky white head that has great retention. Aroma is yeasty bread, spices, light citrus, grassy, a little grain. Flavor is crisp lager yeast, toasted bread, some citrus, light grassy hops, dried grains and lots of mineral notes to the finish. Palate is light bodied with a high effervescence forming a blanket of fairly sharp, innumerate cabonation bubbles that die down pretty quickly and lead to a dry, crisp finish. I didn’t mind this stuff, one of those things that is greater than the sum of it’s parts to me.

Light crisp clean, very watery and not much to say about this beer. A good summer party beer as it is easy to chug. Not a good micro mor like a macro, I think this is an effort to appeal to the coors and budweiser drinkers out there and get them into the craftbrew market.

App= pale-yellow and cloudy like a Hefe, not a Lager. 2-finger slushy head when poured in a tall glass stein, gradually turned fluffy and frothy. Aroma= like ginger-ale-- sweet, a little spice, that’s about it. F= tart, with some bitter bitter hops that may well have been stale or something-- not pleasant. Slight sweet hints, nothing very redeeming. Where’s the malts? P= blehhh. Like I just rinsed my mouth with Lysterine or something. O= not for me (and that’s rare) In some ways it’s similar to Otter Creek Summer Ale from Vermont-- which is mediocre but still better than this beer.

Pours a gold color, well carbonated, smallish white head but lingers for a while. Grassy, hoppy, malty aroma. Flavor has corn, thin malt, hops and touch of citrus. Clean, crisp, easy drinking. A good lager, but nothing spectacular. Nothing about this lager that sets it apart from any other.

Smells like an IPA. Primarily hoppy, but with a malty / wheaty aftertaste. Yummy, though light and a tad watery. A good summer beer.
