4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
This is a very good beer. It’s smooth with a fruity taste. It has a distinct flavour in comparison to most other Altbiers I’ve tried.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Copper coloured with nice aroma of weak parfume and roasted malt. Flavor is same + caramel, smoke, something rotten, metal and medium bitterness. An ok, but also just a mainstream altbier!
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Heavy hoppy aroma, a little bit citrus, light smell of bread, light yeast, a little bit smoke and caramel. The head is small, white and disappears fast, the colour is red. Slightly bitter flavor, long duration. Medium body with a dry texture and soft carbonation. Nice one.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
The color is very beautiful deep red-brown and the head is huge and lasting. The flavour has a nice bitterness but not very many other notes that some roasted malt and a bit of fruit. The finish is moderate in length. It’s an OK altbier, but it could have more personality and body.
2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
UPDATED: APR 19, 2007 Bottled. Clear amber, average head. Aroma of ash and apples. Sweet with lifeless rounded mouthfeel. Sweaty and raw with evident vegetable flavours. Almost Carlsbergy.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
500 mL bottle. Says copper-gold on the label, but it definitely leans more toward the copper. Thin film of head. Aroma of malt and prunes/plums. Taste is heavy on caramel, along with malt, and a distinct nuttiness. A bit of hops at the end; not much. Good.

[Purchased at the Timmins LCBO.]
Brown-bronze with a creamy, cream-coloured head that comes out thick, but thins out to a film after a little while. Caramel and a little fruity on the nose: strawberry and cream notes, weak aroma overall. Lagery flavour with nice crisp maltiness and more than noticeable noble hops with a touch of toasty caramel and more than a touch of nuts. Bitterness is low but not absent. Light to medium body with considerable carbonation.
2.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
UPDATED: MAR 17, 2007 Dark golden with a nice white head. Aroma of different malts along with hay. The flavor is pretty smooth and well balanced, plesant malty sweetness along with some underlying acidic notes in the flavor, and a bitter finish
