Dark copper color with a puffy, although fast-fading head. Aroma of sweet and sour malts with some noble hop character. Body is semi-robust and contains a good balance between the sweet, bready, caramel malt and the lightly bitter hops. The finish is smooth and warming with just the faintest hint of milk chocolate. A very good beer. Thanks to Dogbrick!

Thanbks to Dogbrick for providing me with the opportunity to rate this beer. This brew poured a very large head of mostly diminishing finely sized light brown colored bubbles that left behind a hazy carbonated brown colored body and a fair lacing. Thje aroma was a nice malty one with some spiceyness hidden within it. The mouthfeel was smooth bubbly and thin. The flavor was that of malt and spice. It was refined, refreshing and different.

A very easy drinking beer that goes down very smooth with a good balance to it. It poured a large sized tan creamy head with fine-small sized bubbles that mostly diminished. The hue was copper and the nose was malty, caramel and sweet. It had a sweet, caramel and a hint of tanginess to the flavor from start to finish . The mouthfeel was very, very smooth, a little tingly, thin textured and light bodied. There was very little lacing with this beer. I would definitely drink this one again if given the opportunity.

The brightness and full flavor of this put it at the top of any Alt that I’ve tried - do whatever you can to try this delicious brew. I get this on tap all the time at the Zephyr in Kent. thick copper color, nice head. The first time i tried it i thought of a much, much bolder sam adams, but don’t let that stop you from trying this. Nice hop punch and thick, slightly burnt malt flavor. It’s nothing short of complex - as you drain the glass, the flavors linger and mingle, slightly new tastes with each gulp - then order another pint and start all over.... very very good.

What a wonderfully balanced beer. I was not expecting much from a beer from the Rubber City (tires, you pervert). The beer is a dark brown with an amber tint. Thick and rather foamy beige head. Nice malt and caramel flavor but it is not overpoweringly sweet. This is all nicely contrasted with a hops kick. The finish is lively and nicely hopped. I lament the loss of this fine beer, and the fact that it was never available to me locally.
