poured a medium amber hue with a thin white head that had no retention. Aroma had a heavy malt note mostly caramel notes. flavor was mildly sweet with a light hop back drop. Finish was smooth.

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.

This beer came in my beer club. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark orange-amber color with a large orange-white head. The aroma was sour, tangy and vegetal. The flavor was sour, tangy, malty and lightly vegetal with a touch of a fruity undertone. The finish was long and sour. Eh.

bottle was amber, nutty malt aroma maybe something else, too simple, but crisp and decent
