3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Excellent all the way around. On tap at a Chili’s in Colorado Springs. Beautiful amber color and a moderate, foamy head. Had little alcohol taste and was exceptionally smooth. Slightly sweet and not bitter. To me, it seemed to have a citrus-y quality not unlike a few Hef’s I’ve consumed. Overall, I was simply pleased to have an option of quality beer instead of the normal macro crap.

22 oz bottle. This was one of my stepping-stone/gateway beers five years ago. My wife showed up with a sixer of this and it was good. Today’s rating is a 22. Copper pour with latte colored foam and lace. Nose is clear from three feet away. Super sweet malt, like a soda. Dried apricots and raisins. Tiniest hop bump to give the nose a bit of a bite. Only a tiny bit though. Taste is sweet malt, like medium brown sugar, and light fruit. Finish is more like lager.

Copper orange color. Typical amber taste with some banana esters in there?

Bomber from Total Beverage in Westminster, CO. Pours a clear dark amber with a nice cap of white head. Aroma is powerful with caramel, green apple, and some peach. Flavor is completely different than what your nose would lead you to believe though, with a hefty amount of malts and just enough hop presence to remind you that you aren’t drinking a loaf of bread. Sessionable at only 5% and with a nice hearty feel without being too filling.

Beautiful clear, deep amber color with a tan head and some lacing. Malty aroma with some character. Taste has a lot of balance; malty sweetness offset by the bitterness of the hops. Goes down smooth. Overall I thought this was a really good altbier.
