Commercial Description:
Richly malty and long on the palate, with just enough hop backing to make this beautiful amber colored "alt" style beer notably well-balanced.

tap... came out a clear ruby red with little to no head. Sweet malty aroma, flavors of malt, caramel and something else sweet that reminded me of twizzlers. Not enough hop backing as I would hope.

22 oz. bomber, 8/11/08 - Pour light red with orange/amber hues. Foamy white head. Good carb. Smells of apple and slight caramel. Taste is much the same, apple and caramel with mild hop bitter and crispness at the end. Maybe a touch of chocolate in there. Nothing special, but not bad.

Bottle. Pour a clear amber color with a longlasting off-white head. Malty caramel aroma with some hoppy hints. Sweetish malty caramel flavor. Fruity malty caramel finish.

The beer welcomes you with a yeasty and slightly fruity aroma. Very appealing. And, then you taste it. I could easily pound a couple on a hot day - very smooth and refreshing. This isn’t a beer to be savored. It is a beer to be drank. Just a readers note. This is NOT a american amber. It is an alt beer. Don’t expect sort of body/malt/hop notes to this beer.

Tasted somewhere along my trip through the States.
Amber colored. Sweet malty aroma. Malty, hoppy and sweetness. Kinda nice.

22oz bottle. Pours clearish amber with a very thin, fizzy white head. Smells crisp malty, caramelly sweet. Tastes crisp, sweet malty with some caramel and slight earth notes. Medium body, crisp carbonation.
