Using only traditional ingredients, Switchback Ale is a reddish-amber ale which is particularly well-balanced, allowing for complexity of flavor coupled with an unusually smooth and refreshing character. Five different malts, select hop varieties, and our own specially cultivated yeast create an ale which leads with hop flavors and a subtle impression of fruit (our yeast's contribution), followed by a palate pleasing malty finish. Our own special process uses the yeast to naturally carbonate the beer, and we leave it unfiltered. The result is a satisfying brew full of flavor with a remarkably clean and smooth finish.

Can 355ml @ Home. Pours hazy amber with a off-white head. Aroma has notes of malt, caramel, biscuit, hay and floral. Taste is medium sweet and light bitter with a long caramel and biscuit finish. Body is medium, texture is thin to oily, carbonation is soft.

355ml can bought at Vinmonopolet Langnes. Large pearl white head diminishing over a close-to-clear golden-brown body, fragile lacing. Moderate smell of mid-sweet caramel malts. Mixed taste character of mild caramel malts, biscuit, and herbal hops. Malt-fruity ending with discreet bitterness. Quite alright. Pizza friendly. (Tromsø, 07.09.2024).
