GT2 (5663) - Riverslime, California, USA - JAN 20, 2013
Tap at the brewery. Pours a Hazy deeper orange. Pillowy white foam. Good lace. Nose is lacto, big Berliner Weisse nose. Probably infected after they brewed their actual Berliner Weisse. Cherry Berliner seems to be the nose. Taste is drained, minerally, small butter, soap, paper. Decent though infected.

Travlr (8002) - Washington, Washington DC, USA - NOV 25, 2012
Draft at the source. This one is pretty much on style, similar to the altbier I’d have in Germany. Body is a bit light.

Drake (6507) - Ivy, Virginia, USA - NOV 13, 2012
Draft at the brewery. Pours a clear rust color with a large creamy offwhite head. Decent head retention. Aroma of toffee, apples, cinnamon, toasted malts and faint hops. The taste is toffee, toasted malts and spice. Medium bodied. Nice.

TheBeerGod (4644) - Newport News, Virginia, USA - AUG 24, 2012
From a growler. Dark copper pour with a short, foamy tan head. Aroma is caramel, light spicy hops, sweet malt, soft grass and light toffee. Taste is big caramel, sweet malt, dark bready notes, soft, spicy hops, light grass and toffee notes. Body is medium with a dense, prickly carbonation. Ends with more caramel, toffee notes, chewy malt, soft bread, spicy hops, soft dark fruit notes and faint grassiness.
