Draft sample at Keg Liquor Fest of Ale.
Poured clear brown color with an average fizzy off-white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Moderate roasted malt and tart citrus aroma. Medium body with a sticky texture and soft carbonation. Medium bittersweet flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration.
My expectations where met.

3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Very light, sweet, almost floral aroma. The flavor stands out at first but finishes dull and artificial. It has certain doughy characteristics, but overall unimpressive.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Clear shining copper hue. Crisp on the tongue, malty, fresh tasting, but lacking a depth of flavor... has some light malt and corn flavors, but really light, and I almost want to say that it’s close to flavorless at times. Has some biscuit malts in the nose, and a bit of a butter presence in there as well. Lightly toasty, not nearly enough of a crisp toast aroma that I enjoy from altbier. Very drinkable, but lacking complexity. When altbier is made properly, it is close to my favorite beer to drink... but this one and other US-made examples I’ve had have been disappointing.
