Cricket Hill Colonel Blides Altbier

Thanks to jcwattsrugger for sharing this one. Light amber body with a fleeting, white head above. Restrained malt aroma. Well balanced mixture of hops & malt in the flavor with a soft, dry finish.

whats the story with the cask? ok so this beer smells like soy sauce and sour garbage. not much malt and some bitterness and off flavors n the finish.

btl opened by jcwattsrugger. Caramelly malt aroma with a hint of pepperish aroma. Clean golden/amber pour with a tight foamy off white head. Flavor of semi sweet malt and a good finishing bitter. Just a tad thin but carbonation is good. Very solid refreshing drinker.

Bottle at Joe’s. This was labeled "cask ale". Cask ale my ass. Bears no relation to cask whatsoever. Harsh carbonation, lots of crystal, with ugly hops. Going into this thinking you’ll be drinking some kind of cask bitter and then ending up with an altbier is an unpleasant shock to say the least. It’s lke thinking you’re about to take a sip of beer and ending up with gasoline.

Bottle at JoeMcphee’s. Pours an orange body with no head. Sweet hoppy earthy beer. A bit bready with some light fruit.
