Bov (7098) - Bienne, SWITZERLAND - JUL 27, 2002
dark orange colour, nice creamy head, beautiful lace, buttery, fruity aroma (peach), very smooth and sweet, lot of carbonation, long sour and fruity finish - complex and very good but don’t tell me it’s an altbier ?!?

Gusler (2655) - Tucson, Arizona, USA - JUN 14, 2002
Tea colored, quite chill hazed with a nice frothy head, sheets of lace. Nose is earthy, malt, sweet and the start also has a malt sweetness to it. Top is light, the finish is lightly hopped, mildly carbonated, dry, drinkable, but not great.

What the heck is going on here? This is a hefeweizen, not an alt. I don’t mean it has has some hefe-resemblances...this is a pure, Bavarian-style wheat beer. I want alt dammit, ALT!

Aubrey (3125) - Bellingham, Washington, USA - JUL 20, 2001
Very well-rounded, fruity (what is that? Banana? Apple?), fresh, slightly tart (similar to a Belgian-style ale), and a little sour (in a good way). If you like Belgians, you should like this beer. Even though it’s an ’Alt,’ I thought it had a lot of Belgian-style qualities to it. Good stuff!

Oakes (9997) - Gibsons, British Columbia, CANADA - MAY 1, 2001
Complex, with fresh hoppiness and cara-earthy maltiness, this is good, flavourful stuff.
