4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Good appearance, forms a nice head.
Good flavor in the English Bass style. A bit of bitterness in the finish.
Overall very good.
3 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a cloudy orange, off white head minimal and quickly dissipates, light caramel slightly sweet aroma, watery mouth feel, slight hit of hops on the finish, pretty tame taste wise not much to talk about a bit of citrus.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
A great Amber Ale. I really liked this one - Cincinatti airport has this always on draught. Very balanced with a nice hoppy finish. I could drink this all night.

Bottle. Not a very special beer, but better than mass market. Bit of a nutty flavor, not over the top. I probably won’t return to this one.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 8/20
Draft: Not too bad for an ALT. Felt like it was smooth and creamy. Definatly one to try.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
A very refrshing alt. Great malty flavor that is well-balanced with the hops. Not an outstanding beer, but a very good one. And, this one will have a very broad appeal - even to those accustomed to Bud, etc.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Overall, a nice beer. Malty nose, nice malt and yeast on the palate. Classic to the style. I’m drinking the bottle labeled "amber" but I prefer the "altbeir" at the pub on Shelbyville Road.
3.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
It’s much better on tap at the brewery but still a great beer! BBC’s line up is nothing to ignore.
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bought a half barrel because the distributor was out of my regular. It helped that this was only $83 a half barrel (was this a closeout price?) . It was a bit cloudy which worried me (some beers are supposed to be cloudy, but it can indicate spoilage). It had the bite that I want in an ale though it could have more hops for my taste. The taste is sufficiently rich, and the aftertaste is good. It is a far better beer than American commercial beers (duh). IF this price is normal, I will definitely purchase another 1/2 barrel. I would not if over $120.
