Valkyrie is a German Style Amber, a style known in Germany as an Altbier. It is brewed following the traditions of one of the oldest beer styles in Germany - alt literally means "old" in German. However our version is a little stronger, maltier and darker than most of its German counterparts. Brewed with dark munich and pilsner malts imported from Germany, Valkyrie has a smooth toasty and caramel taste with hints of chocolate and sweetness balanced by a hefty dose of German Nobel hops.

Amber colour, small off-white head. Aroma is caramel, toffee, wood and some biscuity tones. Flavour is toffee, toast, caramel and mild wooden tones. True to the style, and really wellbrewed. Wow!

16 oz. can. Pours a clear, dark, amber color, with a big, foamy, tan head. The nose is black bread, caraway, juniper berries, and brown sugar. Not too sweet, with a mellow, earthy and resinous bitterness. Medium body, sticky, and grainy. Quality, balanced, and interesting.

Happy Hour US pint in Finney's, Laguna Beach on 13th July 2023. Looked, smelled and tasted like an Altbier, so all good in my eye's. A little stronger alcohol wise but I liked it's flavour and attitude.

On tap at the Moorpark tasting room Deep clear mahogany pour. Thin light tan head. Toasted malts and a slight astringency sharp woody flavor. A bit more hefty then their other offerings.

Tasty little altbier, malty and rich without being saccharine, offering up deep layers of caramel, toasted bread, grain, and dried fruit, backed up by a hint of yeast and a spicy/floral bitterness on the fade. Lovely pint.

Pour is a dark brown with some red highlights and a large tan head. Aroma is molasses, treacle and a little nuttiness. Flavor is whole wheat bread with some almonds and finishes rather dry. Heavy on the malt and kind of all over the place. Decent but one of those styles that I don't get a lot of so I don't have much to compare it to.
