Draft… Mostly clear, rust-colored ale with a small, creamy, white head. Very good retention slowly leaves thick, creamy lacing behind. The aroma is nutty and a touch chocolaty with less pronounced earthy and minerally notes. Medium-bodied with a lightly creamy mouthfeel and lively carbonation. The flavor leans nicely toward the bitter side of balance, but chocolate and medium-roast malts keep this beer highly drinkable for those, like me, who don’t necessitate an overly bitter beer. Crisp, lightly grassy, refreshing finish.

Tap. Moderate malt aromas of light bread and cereal, light herbs and dough for the hops and yeast, with a faint hint of dried cherry in the background. Head is creamy, white with good lacing and is mostly diminishing. Color is medium brown with a red tint. Flavor starts lightly to moderately sweet and lightly acidic, then finishes lightly acidic and bitter. Palate is medium, a little slick and has a lively carbonation. Good smelling and good tasting, this is an easy drinking Altbier.
