Aroma is earthy and lightly malty with moderate hoppiness. Colour is very nice: bright medium orange. Pours a large white head which is mostly diminishing and produces good lacing. Flavour is malty but is balanced by the bitterness. Medium bodied with soft to lively carbonation.

Draft. Clear orange coloured with a small white head. Sweet aroma of malts and caramel with hoppy notes. Sweet flavour of malts, caramel and hops with notes of grain. Hoppy finish.

50 cl bottle. (5%). No yeast in botom. Amber colour with a nice white head. Nice hoppy aroma with hints of malt. Very tasteful flavour but have a bitter and dry finish. This altbier is very simular to traditionel dark lager.

Dark copper colour and a small head. Aroma was malty and there was caramel malt in the taste. Slight bitterness at the finish. Reminded me of a fairly ordinary English bitter: slightly more taste up front, less at the back of the mouth.

Pours a copper/brown color with minimum head. Malty aroma, bitter sweet taste and bitter aftertaste. Not bad.

Bottle from Sainsburys. Gold/copper colour with no head to speak of. Chocolately malts and spice aromas. Bit metallic in mouth, bit dead. Then good choc finish with spicy hop. Alright but it would be better as a live beer.

Great cooper color with a foamy white head. A sweet malty aroma. Tons of flavor as it boasts a sweet honey palate with just the right amount of tart for the finish. I like it!
