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.

Wow. Folks really hate this. My bottles were a month past their best date, but I still got a lot of pils malt aroma and a really nice malt flavor. Great balance and a lot of malt. I don’t particularly like this brewery, but I thought this was one of their better beers.I

on tap-pours a thin white head with yellow body. Aroma is sweet grain. Taste is Grain with good carbonation. And a crisp mouthfeel. This was the first beer from Tommyknocker I tried, and was quite pleased after the mixed reviews I had heard after arriving in Colorado.

This beer has gotten a undeserved bad knock, probably because it is listed as a lager, but in reality it tastes more like a white ale. This is a tasty beer with a nice aroma, good lacing and a fruity tasty finish. Overall, try and think of this as a white belgium and rate as such. Not a bad beer!

12oz, bb Jan 08. Clear golden with a three finger, lasting head. Aroma is dry grass and slight plastic corn. Flavor is dry grass and grain, with some lemon grass on the finish. Light-medium body is as smooth as any pale lager out there, and finishes dry.

second from their 6 pack sample, surprised i rated this so high, was not impressed at first, grew on me, good hop/malt sweet mix, expected something heavier without knowing thebeer’s background, definately worth another look
