Seize the season with Sleigh'r. Layers of deeply toasted malt are balanced by just enough hop bitterness to make it deceivingly drinkable. Paired with a dry finish, Sleigh’r is anything but your typical winter brew.
Tasting Notes
An Alt ferments with Ale yeast at colder lagering temperatures. This effect gives Alts a more refined, crisp lager-like flavor than traditional ales. The Alt has been “Ninkasified” raising the ABV and IBUs. Sleigh'r has a deep, toasted malt flavor that finishes dry and balanced.

Bottled. Confused as to what this was supposed to be. Brown pour, some malts, or caramel or fruit or something

650ml bottle. Pours a clear mahogany with a medium, frothy, short lived, beige head that leaves spotty lacing. Aroma of caramel malt, bread, nuts and light spice. Sweet flavour of caramel, roasted malt, dark chocolate, nuts, grass and light spice with a dry, bitter, hoppy finish. Medium body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. A good altbier.
