Very slight aroma of sweet malt, but contains hints of bitterness. This beer was slightly watery. It was ok.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
From growler... pours amber, with little head. Aroma is a smoky malt aroma. This definitely has more flavoring hops that I expected. It pairs with the malt well. There are smoky flavors, but a lot of the bready flavors that I usually associate with an alt. Carbonation seems to be dead on with it.

Growler. Poured a clear brown color with a medium off-white head. Very slight lacing. Aroma has some caramel and roasted malt to it. Flavor is pretty nutty and also has a bit of smokiness to it. Malty and bitter finish. It’s a decent altbier

Tasted on tap at brewery. This alt pours a medium to dark amber color. Small sized white foamy head. Aroma is roasty malt, caramel and sweet. A medium bodied alt. Malts are caramel, bready and sweet with a touch of smoke. Hops are earthy and floral. Nice balance. Good carbonation. Touch of hop bitterness behind the mellow malts. Crisp dry finish. This beer went well with my Ahi Tuna Steak. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.
