Draft at Union Station. Pours a medium reddish amber with a thin off-white head that dissipates quickly. Light aroma of caramel and a hint of hops. The flavor is intriguing, with almost two distinct tastes--it starts with a smooth, sweet malty flavor that evolves as the beer reaches the back of your mouth into a more bitter, hoppy taste. In each case, they both hold up well. Medium bodied with a dry finish. Not bad, but nothing really to recommend it either.

Mar 11, 2008 Downtown Location - Orange, white fizzy head. Buttery toffee and dried floral aromas warm to notes of citrus. Soft bitter fruity hop tones balance on a nutty earth-like flavor. Medium bodied, medium carbonation, dry, bitter floral finish. Not a bad session brew...

Mar 10, 2007 Sampled on tap on 7/15/06 at the downtown location: Pours a clear copper bronze with a frothy, thin-lacing white head. Sweet, grainy German malty aroma has some authentic noble hoppy notes. Body starts with a touch of real starchy grainy malts and a hint of sweetness before a drier, bitter earthy finish. A decent altbier.
