The aroma is a nice balance of fruit esters and floral hops. The beer is a deep brown bordering on red. The taste is a smooth blend of esters and bitter hops. The palate is crisp, dry, and finishes with a clean snap. A very good brew, perfect with my burger.

Very crisp and fresh. Malty finish, some candy flavors in there, standard malty german altbier. Great malt profile.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Sweet, hoppy, with a fruit-laced malt center that grabs your tastebuds and makes sweet, sweet love to them. Finishes bitter and easy, begging you to take another sip. Awesome. (9/08)

From a growler fill at Charleston Beer Exchange. A healthy off white head builds from a deep, clear, amber pour, but it settles somewhat quickly. A caramel aroma comes on first, followed by a faint fruitiness and some spicy hops. Smooth, medium body, velvety mouthfeel, and light carbonation all complement each other. The malty sweetness up front certainly dominates, but a good dose of spicy bitterness compensates to leave the finish softly dry. Very drinkable, smooth and enjoyable.

Amber pour, nice fluffy head, growler is 20 minutes old. Super sexy nose of toasted malt, with a touch of toffee and floral hop. A soft entry builds as the malt layers unfold. I get a definite warming malt note of toasted pecan that I cannot get enough of. The hops stay noble and add just the right touch of classical restraint. Obnoxiously drinkable for 6.3%. Beer with soul.

Sampled at Brewgrass 2008. Good looking clear amber/copper pour with frothy head. A touch of grain to the aroma with a nicely crisp earthy/grassy hop presence. I though this was very drinkable and sessionable. Some light fruity semi-sweet malt grain leads to a caramel finish with some balanced hop presence (citrus..tough to tell). Smooth medium body. Good Alt!
