3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: AUG 15, 2009 Red amber translucent color with a fast fading white foam head. A medium amount of carbonation is visible. Your typical looking red ale. A light vanilla and honey malt aroma very delightful. Malty sweet taste full of honey and lacking a sense of hops. Palate is quenching ut not watery. Tasty, hearty, but ultimately unevenly sweet.

Bottle. Malty aroma. Caramel toffe, flavor, slight graininess, strong finish but poor aftertaste. Good, balanced flavor initially but dwindles over time.

UPDATED: FEB 14, 2008 Overall good beer - the aroma is fruity, the flavor yeast like and ending on a slightly bitter note. Much better altbier than Pinkus’. A good session beer, and at 5% you can session quite a bit. ON SECOND ANALYSIS: I like this stuff in session. A half yard filled with this stuff goes down very well. The malts really linger on the aftertaste - after the initial bitter goes away.

First alt beer. Fruity in flavor with nice head. Surprised with how much malt this drink had. Wish I could find this someone on tap, that would be awesome, i’ll be sure to pick this one up again.

I’ve had this a few times at the bars and thought it was an odd tasting amber ale, but to my surprise, it is an alt! Pours a sparkling clear, coppery-amber color with an average, cream-colored, frothy, pillowy head which sticks around with a small, frothy layer and leaves nice, tight lace. Nose is toasted cereal, sweet grains, faint brown sugar, faint doughy yeast, faint fruity notes; fairly light but pleasant. Flavor is buttery sweet biscuits, light toffee, almonds, sweet and toasted cereal, and a moderately light bitterness into the finish. Palate is nearly medium, nearly lively carbonation, and a soft, silky feel with a touch of dryness. Finishes fairly short, drying out some, with some nutty notes, and bitterness remaining. Not bad; a fairly nice alt. Not the most exciting of beer styles but very drinkable and pleasant.
