Oct 5, 2007 Pours a transparent copper orange with a thin, wispy-lacing white head. Aroma of lightly toasted grainy caramel and German malts with a touch of noble hops. Body starts with a light caramel malty sweetness some decent bittering hop balance and a crisp, bittersweet finish. Very drinkable, but could use a little thicker body.

Aug 26, 2007 Updated: Aug 28, 200712oz bottle - 2006 version, so 1 year old, which means I’ll do a rerate as soon as I get ahold of the 2007. Color is dark golden brown, and body is clear. Small white filmy head. Candied sweet caramel malt nose with some light orange notes as well... but overall it smells very striaghtforward and sweet. Flavor is just a little too sweet up front, then over the middle it has some stewed corn and cabbage with brown sugar and maple flavors - good stuff. Finished with a wet caramel malt and grain flavor. Decent, but tasted side-by-side with Stoudt’s Oktoberfest it comes up short. I realize this is supposed to be an altbier, so I was hoping for more crisp hops and snappy biscuit malts. Still good.
