Bottled. Copper coloured with mediumsized foamish head, which disappears quite quickly. Lacing. Fruity and woody aroma with some bitter tones. Sweetish malty taste with hints of hops. Aftertaste is smoky/roasted. Pretty dry finish.

(bottle) Light amber colour with medium white head. Light hoppy nose. Light bodied with watery malty taste. Really nothing special.

(Bottled, 5.0% ABV) Clear, deep copper color with a medium, tight, disappearing but lacy head. Very fruity, somewhat woody and toffeeish, slightly metallic and caramely aroma. Moderately roasted, sweetish-malty flavor with smoky, tannic hints. Dry and bitter finish. Medium-bodied, quite sharp-carbonated palate. A pretty, very easily drinkable and reasonably tasty brew. Not very interesting, though.

Brought by a friend from Germany. The only beer she brought me I knew nothing about. When I saw that it would be my first alt, I was overjoyed. But, that didn’t last long. Pours a beautiful orange/copper colour, small but persistant head. Very carbonated. Not much of an aroma, caramel maybe. Fruity malt dominates the flavor. Some hops. The aftertaste is strong roasted malt. Not as bad as I thought it was yesterday.

clear amber colour with a thin off white head. Malty aroma with some fruity sweetness. Thin watery taste with some maltyness and a slight sour finish.

Something drinkable, nothing speacial. Nice colour. decent lace, I like that. Hoppy, nice.

creamy and some hops. Hop bubbles, reasonably smooth and balanced taste. Medium mouthfeel. Long finish with some bitterness and buttiness and grassiness

Clear light amber colour. no nose at all. tangy light malt tase. had good lace but not a beer that I would go out of my way to get again.
