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.

It took some warming up to get this beer to have much flavor (was served too cold). Caramel predominated, slight grainy-ness decent hops, solid head.

Good amber pour, decent head. Not overly powerful to smell, but has some interesting carmel, fruity malt qualities. Fairly well balanced, on the chewy side. Solid brew but not extremely noteworthy.

I have to say that this beer is a little disappointing. It has a light color and a light white head. The disappointing thing is that the beer is also extremely light on flavor. The closest thing I can compare it to is a Michelob Ultra Amber. This beer is easy to drink, but doesn’t have a whole lot to offer in the flavor category.

02.11.2008. 0.35l Bottle. On the plane to Seattle. Colour is brown. Aroma is a little sweet and malty. Nicely hopped!

From a 22 oz. bottle purchased locally. Aroma is fruity - apples with some plum. Color is a burnt amber orange with a tan head that went away fast. Malty, toasty, some biscuit and evenly balanced with bitterness. Medium bodied and finishes dry but just sits on the tongue. Still an easy drinking beer.

Pours a nice amber color with reddish hue. Nice balance of malt and hops. I like the alt beer twist.
