4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours a deep amber with an off-white head. Lots of caramel malts and yeast on the nose. Nice malty flavor to it with a touch of hops in the finish. Pretty solid brew.

UPDATED: JUL 12, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours an off-white head with a caramel color body. Smells of caramel. Tastes of caramel and a little fruity.

From a 12 oz. bottle set to me from a friend in TN. malty aroma with a little bready/toast. Color is a clear amber orange with a small off white head. I must have poured too vigorously because there is a little yeast sediment in the glass. Biscuity malt flavor with a hint of caramel on the back end, evenly bittered and a little floral/spicy hop character. Clean, easy drinking body and a dry finish.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 10/20
Dark copper color...pillowy head, though it fades quickly. Extremely subtle malt aroma, with just a touch of sweetness. Mild malt flavor up front...crisp mouthfeel. Back has a slight bitterness to it...finish is mellow, yet a tad sweet. Probably not one that I would crave a six pack of, though it is very drinkable, and definitely preferred over the average commercial swill.

Draft at the brewpub (Cincinnati airport). Amber color. Small white head. Very little lacing. Clean finish. The beer was just ok. Nothing unpleasant, just nothing to get excited about.
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Clear light amber pour with a tall frothy white head that clings the glass towards heaven. Simplistic aroma where raw grain is the dominant feature. Light malt sourness evolves towards a mild fruitiness, but individual flavours are impossible to pick up. No toastiness nor nuttiness involved and the hops are neglectable. Growingly bland by the sip despite its interesting creamy (albeit very light-bodied) palate. Mineral water concludes it all. Poor flavour extraction in this one. It’s hard to believe this came from the same brewers who put out such a nice schwarzbier.

Terrible stuff. Why bother making beer if you can not make decent beer. This got bottled?? How did this make it passed QC? It was not a spoiled beer, just sucked whale ass.

Almost undrinkable. Lots of Budweiser/Miller taste in this one. But fairly stale. One of the worst alts I’ve had. Little to no malt. Not much taste.
