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.

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

The best part about this beer was the label and the name. Actually all their beers have catchy names. Too bad their beer stinks

Bottle. Pours hazy yellow with a foamy white head, mostly lasting with good lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (grain, meal), light hops (herbs), heavy yeast (sweat) with notes of corn. Light bodied, thin texture, average carbonation, and a metallic finish. Average duration, light sweetness, acidity, and bitterness.

Poured light and watery. Little aroma. Flavor of Miller Light. Appearance of any run of the mill bear. Not my favorite beer.

Bottle. Appearance is a slighty hazy gold with minimal carbonation after a smallish, white head forms. Aromas are thick with bready malt and grass but also contain a bit of a funky smell... like old shoes or something. Flavor is nice enough... bread and grass with a slight ammount of peppery hops. Not bad, not great.

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.
