Brewed exclusively for MacKenzie River Pizza and available at all of their locations. A very drinkable ale for pairing with everything from pizza to pasta. Driftboat is a moderately hopped American Amber Ale with notes of fresh bread and complex, even slightly sweet, malt flavors...all classic aromas expected from a true northwestern amber ale.

Sample at Mackenzie River Pizza Co., Bozeman. Pours clear amber with a thinning, off-white head. The aroma contains malt, caramel, hops and citrus. It tastes light sweet, medium hoppy bitter and light sour with a medium long hoppy finish. Light body, watery texture, fizzy carbonation. Good enough.

On tap. Pours a clear amber with a small, short lived, off-white head that leaves spotty lacing. Faint, sweet aroma of bready malt, caramel and a hint of earthy hops. Sweet flavour of caramel malt and biscuit with a dry, bitter hop finish. Light body with a watery texture and average carbonation. Ok.

Poured up on tap at MacKenzie River Pizza with clear light copper to gold color and off white head. The mild aroma offers up a sense of hoppiness and sweet malts. The taste has a surprising level of crisp tart spicy like hops mixing with lesser amounts of sweet malts and faint biscuit maltiness in the background. Tasty stuff with a pleasing hop forward flavor.
