2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
UPDATED: DEC 19, 2005 Blue bottle, copper color, big frothy head. Cake dough aroma. Slight hopbitter flavor with raisin and cake dough. Rather bland, but not too bad. Cannot be compared to the great Düsseldorf altbeers.
Brewery tap: Hopbitter, fruity flavor. I can only smell some orange. Light hopbitter finish. Delicate, but not comparable in quality to the more assertive Düsseldorf alts.

Bottle. Frothy white good mostly lasting head. Brown colour. Modrate malty and light hoppy aroma. Toast and caramellic notes. Light bitter flavor. Average light bitter finish. Oily palate.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
(bottle) Dark red to amber colour with ivory foamy head. Slight malty aroma with caramellish and fruity hints. The taste is ostensible malty, slightly toasted. Light to medium bodied, lively carbonated and crispy palate with a short medium dry finish
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
from crackedkettle.com/ - clear ruby-brown colour, chaotic pale beige foam and a nice lace; some earthy notes, medium-bodied and slightly bitter; long earthy and nutty finish - acceptable
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle: Amber coloured with reddish tints, medium sized, quite stable fluffy off-white head; fruity-malty-caramelly nose with a tinge of molasses; mild sweetish-malty flavour with an illusion of roasted malt; slightly sweet-malty finish with a moderate bitter aftertaste: Drinkable, but pretty bland and boring, in comparison to the Düsseldorf micros.......
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Rich chestnut brown colour. Pours with a sizeable off-white head, which persists for a short while. Sweet malt and treacle toffee aroma. Malt, caramel and fruit in the aroma, but mainly bitter, tending towards tart, with a metallic edge. Not bad, but not overly tasty. 500ml bottle from beersofeurope.co.uk. BBE 31 July 2004.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Brown colour with a beige head. Aroma is roasted caramel malt. Flavour is the same.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Herber und geringfüfig (später stärkerer) Malzantrunk. Die leicht süßliche Malzigkeit ist angenehm, meist aber zu trocken. Etwas getreidig, süffig, nett. Ein trinkbares Altbier ohne Besonderheiten. 7/9/9/9/9/9
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Dark amber-brown colour with a rocky white head that fades to thin lace. Light floral aroma over some brown sugar, nuts, and yeast. Taste is also quite floral with some light caramel flavour and a fair amount of yeastiness. Light finish of Saaz (or similar) hops. My first of this style and it really reminds me of many lagers that I've had despite it's being an ale. Tasty.
