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.

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.

On tap at the Brewery. Thin, Short, and kind of boring. I was really kind of surprised that this was recommended by the bartender. Hey, at least it’s not a bud!

Bottle from a sampler. Golden pour with a one finger head,decent retention, not so decent lacing and lots of carbonation. Sweet grainy aroma with a hint of honey. Taste is granny smith apple followed by a dry, grassy bitterness.

pours a little bit more gold than most lagers i’ve seen...slightly hazy but not as much as a wheat beer...retains a thin white head after most of the head dissipates. smell is predominantly wheat with a little lemongrass. taste is a little bit bitter with a sweet touch. just a little pineapple is apparent. a little bit of a musky taste but mostly wheat. a touch of lemongrass. better than most lagers i’ve tried.i’d choose this over bud any day, but i wouldn’t drink it on a regular basis.

Nice yeasty smell, almost like rising bread or somthin. Some gunk on the bottom leads to an attractive hazy swirling pour. Almost wheat-beerish in appearance. Has more bite than a pale lager. Tries to come on like a pale ale but never quite gets there. Some carbonation, just enough for a creamy sensation on the palate, could use more. On the finish the medium hop bite fades into something a little more gentleman-like. Perhaps a little better than I expected but after all, it is a lager.

Golden color......thick, fluffy head. Slight musky aroma. Light malt taste up front......crisp mouthfeel. Finishes very clean and dry.

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.
