Look at that big, fat head on your beer.

There’s your proof—ALPENFLO is 100% barley malt, with hops sourced directly from family farms in Bavaria, and brewed in horizontal tanks… with absolutely nothing to fizzle it out. We’re talking about the exact right conditions to create a bright, beautiful beer.

Some beers are easy to make and difficult to drink… but ALPENFLO is the opposite on both counts. It took years to acquire the materials and formula for Alpenflo—we’re talking all-malt, 100% 2-row barley, and we source all of the hops directly from family farms in Bavaria to give it that gentle spice. This lager is then cold-stored in horizontal lagering tanks to round out the flavor profile. Once opened, that frothy beverage is gone in a flash.

Alpenflo gets its clean noble hop character from Tettnanger hops sourced from family farms in Germany. It’s real lager—all 2-row barley malt—and horizontal lagering tanks provide the exact right conditions to create bright, beautiful beer.

Crisp and clear golden coloured body with a thick, four centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of crisp grain, a lot of bread, yeast, honey and a touch of water - fairly muted throughout. Light-bodied; Strong grassy and very biscuity malt with a dash of alcohol, but mainly showing a citrus note at first that gives way to a little bread, some hay and even a touch of flowers at the end - very easy drinking and fairly minimal of flavours. Aftertaste is dry, very biscuity and almost purely malt-based. No hops, no sugars and no complexity make this one a bit watery and very simplistic through it's entirety. Overall, a pretty underwhelming beer throughout with some dry flavours, but only a touch of bread/yeast make it past the watery notes way up front. Not worth trying at all, nor trying to find, if you don't already have a can of this. And if you do have a can of this, it's probably better to drink right away. I sampled this, slim-line, twelve ounce can purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 23-June-2019 for US$1,79 sampled at home in Washington on 08-December-2019.

Pours clear gold into a shaker. White head with little retention recedes to hug rim. Caramel and mild pine aromas. Crisp with sourdough and overripe summer fruit turning to cloying resin in the medium length finish.

12 oz. can from the Mansion. Pours a clear gold color with a large off-white head and great retention. Great lacing too. Not much aroma. Smooth, almost creamy mouthfeel. Clean, flavorful lager. Filling, medium plus body. Great example of the style.

5% lager in a 12 oz skinny ass one fitty can from Vintage? In a beermug, looks like a shade darker than pale. Lots of visible co2. Considering SP, I'm thinking this is going to be an assaulter. Clean triple fresh light yeast aroma. Yes, its a bragging helles, sweet and near cloying like so many SP brews. Big, biggy palate blasty, so much. You cannot mistaken SP from other brews fer sher, they like getting in yer face and in this one as well. Before this, if I thought SP and then thought helles, this is exactly what it be. Heavy handed thicker near cloying viscous finish. Its says lager on the label, but don't be fooled; its not a pale refreshing bright lager, this is large jaw punch helles.

12 ounce can. Brassy gold pour. Smal frothy white head. Grainy malt nose. Tart, crisp grainy malt flavor upfront. Light bodied and lacking in depth. Light dry finish.
