2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
UPDATED: NOV 4, 2012 Draft at a concert, served in a plastic cup (no choice). Amber color with off-white head. Aroma of roasty malts and light spicey hops. Taste adds more malt sweetness with a light hop finish. Light overall but not bad, might be biased since my other options were macrobrews.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottled. Amber colour with a small creamy slightly off-white head. Aroma is bready and a bit grainy with some mild floral and earthy notes. Flavour is rather similar with no big surprises. A quite standard amber ale, with maybe some slight Altish notes...
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a green-gold with a thin but fluffy off-white head. Aroma is vaguely fruity, some pine and citrus hops; malty, a tough of licorice. Taste is dry, hoppy, citrus, a touch of caramel, some creaminess; an odd but not unpleasant aftertaste. Not too bad; a little watery. But not awful.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Half pint at the Rake. Served in a snifter, Bronze, hazy, 1 finger head. Malty aroma, notes of rasperry. Tasted malts, rasperry and some burnt caramel, charcol finish. Lively carbonation, smooth texture, medium body. Tried to be an Altbier but ended up being something like a weak Dopplebock, style best left to Dusseldorf brewers .
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
[Bottle from Beers of Europe] Amber, moderate off-white head, slight fizz. Lager-y hops up front - a bit of grass & lemon. Nice comforting, warming caramel malt in middle turns rather buttery after a while. Mildly bitter, slightly cardboardy finish. OK.
