Bottle with a light green label, nearly at room temp. Taste is fairly mellow, and not much haze on the eye, considering the name. Taste is a little more brisk than yer typical lager and yes, more like a zwicky or a keller fer sher. However, it comes across with a little less of that sharper bitterness than a keller, maybe its the landbier thing. So, alpine is the highest and most extensive mountain range system that lies entirely in Europe? Just asking or, is this alpine californika? Either way its not a bad beer. Reminds me of the traditional culture of farming, cheese-making, and woodworking although; there are shades or tourism in it. Decent beer tasting experience, a little better than expected. Should have listened to the sales girl, I thought it would have a lot more bitter astringent hops in it than it does.

Bottle. pours a lightly hazy golden color with a small white head. The aroma is soft and understated and does not provide much foreshadowing of the taste to come. I get some straw, corn and vague fruits on the nose. The taste is a well balanced mix of bready grains, some citrusy hops and a bit of salty herbs. The palate is light but effective. Finishes short and clean. Overall: decent.
